According to a report presented by E-Commerce Poland, alongside the Polish Chamber of Digital Economy, currently, over 40% of businesses in Poland are B2B selling online.
And close to 25% of this B2B e-commerce in Poland claimed to receive 80% of their revenue via this channel.
The report collected information from 155 Polish companies offering products, services, and solutions to businesses surveyed during March and April 2022.

The most commonly cited negative impacts are increased IT costs, the need to hire experts, and the elevating the cost of their services. And this will keep on growing, for obvious reasons, that's a fact.
Even so, almost all B2B e-commerce providers see the need to further develop and invest in this solution: Expanding their product offerings, integrating their sales channels with social networking sites, and positioning were identified as the main directions.
Finally, surveyed companies mentioned the following benefits of e-commerce implementation:
