2026 STATE OF B2B ECOMMERCE REPORT
Digital experience is now a top revenue and retention lever.
Our report breaks down the five shifts reshaping wholesale for lifestyle apparel brands, including the inefficiency gap, tariff volatility, stability over expansion, AI becoming foundational, and DTC expectations in B2B.
🌐 75% of B2B buyers are projected to complete their highest revenue deals through digital channels by 2028.
👊 3/4 of brands say they would switch platforms for a better digital ordering portal.
📈 8 out of 10 of brands think they are running well, but the system reality is fragmented.
The Wholesale Industry is at a Critical Inflection Point
Our report combines RepSpark's proprietary internal platform data from 2024–2025, tracking over $5 billion in transaction volume, with original survey responses from 26 brands generating anywhere from $1M in revenue to over $50M in revenue.
We found a disconnect between how digital most brands feel and how integrated their operations actually are; what we call Disconnected Maturity.
Of the respondents who filled out our survey, 70% held executive or director-level leadership roles. This indicates that even senior leaders are beginning to feel the friction of outdated systems.
