B2B export refers to the process of exporting goods or services from one business to another business in a different country. In this context, one business acts as the supplier, and the other business is the buyer or client. Unlike B2C (business-to-consumer) exports, which involve selling directly to individual consumers, B2B exports focus on larger, bulk transactions and longer-term partnerships.
For example, a manufacturer of eco-friendly tableware exporting their products to a distributor or retailer in a foreign market is engaging in B2B export.
The global B2B e-commerce market size is projected to reach USD 36,107 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 19% from 2023 to 2031.
