Overview

Traditional retail (B2C) and wholesale (B2B) channels create great value for the stakeholders involved and will always be a pillar of the economy, both physical and digital. Yet, as the internet era paces forward, commerce is evolving rapidly; novel sales channels have risen, creating room for opportunities both for existing stakeholders and new entrants. Some of the evolutions in the field of global commerce include a turn to direct sales models (manufacturers channeling their products directly to the end-users), the surge of intermediation platforms and marketplaces (which allow peer to peer sales and the sale of goods by merchants without a brick-and-mortar store) and the development of agile delivery services to accommodate the sale of FMCGs online.
