Business-to-Consumer (B2C) e-commerce refers to transactions in which companies use the Internet to sell goods or services directly to individual customers. Customers can browse, choose, and buy products from companies using digital channels thanks to this model, which uses online platforms to support retail activities. By offering a quick and easy way for customers to purchase and access a variety of goods and services from the comfort of their homes, business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce has revolutionised traditional retail. Technological developments, easier access to the Internet, and shifting customer tastes towards online purchasing have all contributed to this change.

Drivers: The primary factor behind the growth of the global B2C e-commerce market is the expansion of smartphone usage and internet penetration. As more people use smartphones and the internet to get information, businesses may reach a wider audience and attract untapped prospective customers. As a result, B2C e-commerce businesses now have more opportunities and a larger market. Smartphones and internet connections allow customers to make purchases online at any time, regardless of location or time constraints. This accessibility and convenience facilitate online shopping, which encourages more use and market growth. 

Challenges: Cybersecurity risks are a major issue for the business-to-consumer e-commerce sector. As the amount of sensitive customer data and online transactions on e-commerce platforms increases, cybercriminals find them attractive. E-commerce businesses collect and hold onto private customer information, including credit card numbers, addresses, and past purchases. Financial losses, identity theft, and reputational damage are just a few of the terrible outcomes that can result from data breaches. In addition, hackers are always developing sophisticated new techniques to access systems and exploit flaws. As a result, businesses find it more difficult to stay ahead of threats and adequately protect their data. Cyberattacks have the power to significantly erode customer confidence. Revenue loss and a decline in customer loyalty could arise from this. 

Market Trends: Throughout the projection period, the worldwide B2C e-commerce industry is anticipated to expand. Internet connectivity is now generally available due to the extensive availability of high-speed internet and the rise in smartphone use. This increases online purchasing activity by enabling customers to browse and buy from any location at any time. Because they provide a mobile and easy buying experience, mobile applications have emerged as a major business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce platform.
