The business-to-Consumer segment is anticipated to account for a substantial share of the market owing to an increase in cross-border internet buying and e-commerce sales.

The domestic segment is projected to expand at a robust pace during the forecast period.

Technological improvements such as the use of digital technology with crowd-sourced distribution models are also contributing to the segment's favorable outlook. The wholesale and retail segments have dominated as a result of rapid urbanization and rising disposable income among customers. The COVID-19 pandemic has expanded the number of wholesale and retail merchants selling their products through e-commerce services, which has also helped the expansion of the segment.
