In 2018, sales originating on B2B eCommerce websites soared past the trillion dollar milestone, growing 11% to $1.1 trillion. When added to sales originating from legacy EDI and e-procurement systems, which increasingly flow through business eCommerce platforms, total electronic transactions for the first time last year accounted for a majority of the $15 trillion of purchases made by U.S. businesses.
