The global cross-border B2C e-commerce market size is expected to reach USD 5,576.73 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 25.8% from 2022 to 2030, according to a new study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is anticipated to be fueled by changing consumer buying habits, a growing urban population, and growing consumer awareness about e-commerce.

The introduction of modern e-commerce technology and the availability of protected payment alternatives and online transactions are expected to propel market growth. Furthermore, with the prevalence of social media applications, many marketing alternatives are available today, supporting the expansion of the global cross-border B2C e-commerce industry. The growing significance of online marketing platforms such as Google and Facebook ads fuel the growth.

Cross-border e-commerce platforms offer ways for Small & Medium enterprises (SMEs) to develop by presenting access to a global and domestic customer base. For instance, nearly 70% of American SMEs utilize their web store or third-party online marketplace, according to Data Catalyst, with the bulk of those businesses opting to use several marketplaces. Therefore, the increasing demand for these services to connect customers with suppliers, make ordering more accessible and manage the delivery of items is expected to boost the market landscape over the forecast period.

The COVID-19 outbreak has contributed positively to the industry's growth as consumers prefer product purchases and transactions online.
