<\/span>by 2025, 80% of all B2B sales interactions between suppliers and professional
\nbuyers will take place in digital channels. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic
\non the pace of digitalization and the purchasing behavior of technology-savvy millennials,
\nwho are now of an age to be the professional B2B decision-makers, are the main
\ndrivers of this global E-commerce growth. <\/span><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/release.media-outreach.com\/release.php\/Images\/Thumb\/500x0\/137424\/dpdhl.jpg#image-137424\")
<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n“Even in times of worldwide
\nshutdowns, globalization has shown its resilience, fuelled by digitalization
\nand the power of global trade”, says John Pearson, CEO of DHL Express. “These
\ntrends have led to an ever growing number of consumers to shift their shopping
\nactivities online. The pandemic has accelerated this development like never before,
\nwith a sharp rise in businesses selling their goods in the global marketplace.
\nE-commerce and global logistics thus provided the key to unlock local shutdowns,
\nkeep economies running and mitigate the impact of Covid-19 for many of our
\ncustomers.”<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\nThe Whitepaper, <\/span>compiled by DHL Express,<\/span> uncovers factors driving the growth of the
\nglobal B2B E\u2011commerce market: besides general trends such as globalization and
\ndigitalization, a new technology-oriented generation of millennials is starting
\nto make its mark. Already, millennials account for <\/span>73% of all professional B2B
\npurchasing decisions. As digital natives, their experiences in the B2C-sector
\ntranslate to high expectations when making B2B transactions, pushing companies
\nto invest in digital solutions, such as selling platforms, while offering great
\ngrowth potential.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAcceleration of E-commerce growth through
\nCovid-19
<\/span><\/b>“Specifically in Asia Pacific excluding China, we
\nhave witnessed a 17.3% year-on-year rise in shipment volume during the peak
\nmonths of November and December 2020 driven by more active shippers and a 21%
\nhigher spend per customer. In those two months alone, there were 65% more B2C
\nshipments of which consumer technology products and fashion apparel contributed
\nthe most,” said Ken Lee, CEO of DHL Express Asia Pacific. “This unabated surge
\nin volume further underscores the growth in online shopping and demand for
\ncross-border shipping, making it critical that logistics providers remain agile
\nto continuously adapt and respond to consumer needs.”<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIt
\nwas not only B2C E-commerce that was growing due to ongoing digitalization and
\nchanged shopping behavior of consumers. In 2019, before the pandemic, global
\nsales on B2B E-commerce sites and marketplaces had already increased by 18.2%
\nto reach USD 12.2 trillion[1]<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>,
\noutpacing the market size of the B2C sector. Through Covid-19 and the resulting
\nacceleration of digitalization, this global B2B E\u2011commerce volume is estimated
\nto reach USD 20.9 trillion by 2027[2]<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is predicted for the future of
\nthe B2B sector, has already been visible in the significant B2C E-commerce rise
\nover the last years, where DHL Express experienced high growth rates
\nparticularly during the holiday peak seasons (e.g. Easter, Christmas) and mega
\nshopping days (e. g. Black Friday, Cyber Monday). In total, the B2C E\u2011commerce
\nvolumes within the DHL Express network increased in 2020 by approximately 40%,
\ncompared to 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThis positive business development is
\nalso reflected in the FY2020 financial results of the company: With a total
\nrevenue of \u20ac19.1 billion (+11.9% year-on-year) and EBIT of \u20ac2.7 billion
\n(+34.9%) the Express division of Deutsche Post DHL Group closed 2020 with the
\nbest result in its more than 50 years history. With its worldwide network and
\nbreadth of industries served, DHL Express was able to accommodate fast-changing
\ntrade flows. Furthermore, its presence in more than 220 countries and
\nterritories helped consumers and businesses to stay connected by enabling them
\nto trade around the world \u2013 also during the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDHL Express is investing to continue to meet
\nhigh customer demands<\/span><\/b><\/p>\nIn 2020, DHL Express delivered 484 million shipments in
\ntotal for its customers (B2C and B2B) around the globe, around 9% more per day than
\nin 2019. To adapt to this significant growth of its network, DHL Express
\ncontinues to invest annually more than \u20ac1 billion in new state-of-the-art
\nfacilities around the world to multiply its sorting capacity (+65% since 2013),
\nhires new employees (+10,000 year-on-year) and adds new freighter aircraft to
\nits fleet (+20 units year-on-year). In this context, DHL Express recently
\nannounced the purchase of eight more Boeing B777 wide body freighters and a
\npartnership with Smartlynx Malta to add two Airbus A321 to its fleet. With
\nthese measures, DHL Express ensures that its worldwide customers can benefit
\nfrom the global
\nE-commerce boom.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
