Global online marketplace sales have soared to an astounding $7.6 trillion, representing an impressive CAGR of 35% with traditional eCommerce reaching $4.9 on 19% CAGR growth (eMarketer, 2023). This data underscores the significant expansion of online marketplaces, continuing to outpace traditional ecommerce in the digital economic landscape when it comes to generating profit and building organizational value.

This continual growth path for marketplaces is due largely to the maturation of the marketplace model itself from a horizontal category expansion mechanism into more multi-faceted use cases that create multi-sided commerce networks. These networks promote connections between buyers and sellers, sellers and operators, operators and buyers and the technology that powers the entire experience is growing increasingly sophisticated to meet the increasing level of commerce ecosystem scale and structure.
