Europe E-Commerce, Payments, and AI Transformation Analysis Report 2025: Market Intelligence on B2C, B2B, Digital Payments, and the Evolving Role of AI in Commerce - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Europe's E-Commerce, Payments, and AI Transformation 2025: Market Intelligence on B2C, B2B, Digital Payments, and the Evolving Role of AI in Commerce" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The report explores how Europe's digital economy is evolving through stable E-Commerce growth, the rise of omnichannel payments, expanding AI integration, and enterprise-driven marketplace innovation. Covering Western, Eastern, and Southern Europe, it provides strategic insights into regional adoption patterns, consumer behavior, and technology readiness shaping the continent's digital future.

B2C E-Commerce: From Acceleration to Steady Expansion

Western Europe's online retail market is forecast to surpass USD 800 billion by 2028, reflecting the region's transition to sustained and balanced growth. Rising consumer confidence, better logistics, and digital inclusivity continue to reinforce E-Commerce as a standard purchasing channel.

Digital Payments: Seamless and Low-Cost Options Lead

More than 60% of Europeans relied on online payment methods in 2024, and nearly half used in-app options, highlighting a strong shift to mobile-driven spending. Wallets and Pay by Bank models dominate for their ease and affordability, reshaping transaction habits across the region.

AI Integration: Expansion Meets Regulatory Caution

In 2024, almost half of Europeans explored Generative AI tools, and by 2025, close to 70% of German enterprises integrated them into workflows. Despite momentum, concerns about misinformation and data protection continue to define Europe's measured path toward trusted AI adoption.

B2B E-Commerce: Focus Shifts to Digital Efficiency and Strategy

Marketplace launches slowed in 2024 as firms prioritized consolidation and tailored strategies. With three-quarters of B2B players now building marketplace ecosystems, emphasis is shifting toward flexible payments, regional integration, and streamlined digital procurement.
