E-commerce is gradually being accepted globally. According to statistics from relevant research institutions, the global e-commerce transaction volume will reach $3.2 trillion by 2003, accounting for 5% of global revenue. In particular, the business-to-business (B2B) transaction model will become the most widely adopted approach in e-commerce, with approximately 80% of online transactions expected to use this model. Although this rapid momentum has recently slowed, the trend of participating in domestic and global trade through e-commerce is irreversible.
