Report: Digital Commerce
Current Trends and Figures

The year 2022 saw huge changes in the Digital Commerce market. As Covid-19 restrictions loosened, spending patterns shifted away from online retail and back to brick-and-mortar stores and services. More broadly, Q1 and Q2 2022 saw several geopolitical and macroeconomic events make the headlines.

These turbulent times marred the value of digital commerce stocks and damaged fundraising valuations. 

Since then, numbers have returned to a ‘new normal’, which is significantly higher than pre-pandemic. Acquirers are continuing to seek new digital technologies, but have become more selective and risk averse.
