What Are The Top 10 Trends Shaping B2B Ecommerce in 2026?

The whitepaper explores ten interconnected shifts, including:

 

Agentic buying and what it means when AI systems, not humans, increasingly shape supplier selection

Digital-first six-figure deals and how sales and ecommerce must work together, not compete

Pricing and CPQ modernisation, where the quote itself becomes the product

Embedded payments and B2B fintech, as a lever for faster cash conversion

Sustainability and compliance data, moving directly into commerce workflows

The return of the human premium, with experts deployed where they matter most

Marketplaces as power channels, and how to avoid margin erosion

Composable ecommerce as an ROI requirement, not a technology preference

Procurement-native buying experiences, inside buyer-owned systems

Trust architecture, as a deal accelerator, not a blocker

 
 
 

These are not future hypotheticals.

They are already reshaping how
B2B organisations compete, win, and scale.
