B2B Payments Market Outlook 2031
The global B2B Payments market size was valued at around USD 994.93 Billion in 2022 and is estimated to reach USD around 2380.77 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of around 10.18% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing adoption of digital modes of payment in B2B payments.
Business-to-Business (B2B) payments refer to a form of transactions conducted between businesses such as manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. B2B payments tend to occur in a supply chain, where one business purchases raw materials from another business to use in its manufacturing process. Paper checks, bank wire transfers, credit cards, and cash are common methods of B2B payments, which are usually preferred by companies, due to the large sum of amount paid in such transactions.
B2B payments are either one-time or recurring payments that are complex and require a long period of time to receive approval or settle. These traditional modes of payment, though popular among companies, face several problems such as cash or check fraud, long process periods, and others.
The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the global B2B payments market significantly. Enterprises and companies are adopting digital B2B payments rapidly, as it does not require payments to be handled physically and payments can be done remotely. Increasing usage of technology, growing number of small and medium-sized enterprises, and rising import and export of goods and services across the globe fueled the global B2B payments market.
