2017 was an amazing year for wholesalers, with statista predicting that the global B2B eCommerce market is worth "US$7.7 trillion and that the B2B business is now dwarfing that of the B2C business". The buying trends of consumers and businesses are constantly shifting so retailers and wholesalers must find new and creative ways to stay on top of these changes in 2018.
With this in mind, we recently hosted a webinar where we highlighted our top 5 trends in wholesale distribution, so that you can stay ahead of the curve and take advantage of this continually growing B2B market.
Yi-Wei Ang, who is TradeGecko’s Director of Product, first takes a step back to recap on the key trends he observed in 2017, and then discusses the key trends that will impact the wholesale distribution industry in 2018.
