    Gartner’s The State of Digital Commerce helps business and marketing leaders understand how digital commerce has evolved after rapid acceleration and what it means for future growth. The whitepaper explores digital commerce performance, maturity, capability gaps, investment priorities, customer behavior shifts, and go-to-market strategies across B2B, B2C, and hybrid business models. It helps organizations plan stronger commerce strategies, improve customer experience, build digital capabilities, and make smarter investment decisions.

    Digital commerce is now a strategic growth priority, but sustaining performance is becoming harder. The report highlights that 86% of surveyed leaders expect digital commerce to be the most important route to market in the next two years, while only 27% exceeded senior leaders’ expectations for revenue and profitability. It also shows that 90% of leaders are investing in new capabilities to drive digital commerce growth. This whitepaper helps businesses assess maturity, close capability gaps, and plan future-ready commerce investments.
