B2B ecommerce is here to stay. Business leaders pointed a keen and wary eye toward born-in-the-cloud digital disruptors when they broke on the B2B scene nearly a decade ago. In the early days, there was much speculation as to how much market share the "new guys" could grab. Speculation quickly turned to spectatorship.

Local startups are building huge e-commerce businesses, thanks to Amazon - The Boston Globe
But rather than hunting for a PlayStation 5 or festive holiday vests, Cashman and Bell have been buying up companies that sell a range of utilitarian products on Amazon, shelling out $2 million here, $10 million there. They've bought companies that make hiking poles and silicone straws, milk frothers, and yoga apparel.
What they're doing has attracted the attention of venture capital investors in a major way: Cashman's company, Thrasio, and Bell's company, Perch, have collectively raised about $650 million — and both of the Boston-area startups are less than three years old. (Thrasio's most recent funding deal in July valued the company at $1 billion.)

The most pivotal event this year—the pandemic—spawned many behavioral changes. The massive shift to e-commerce buying was one of those—and it spanned age, economic status and geography.

The report found that certain jobs, such as cashiers, may be threatened by technologies like self-checkout and online ordering, but that many other occupations in the industry are growing.
