Report

The Commerce Cloud Market size is estimated at USD 36.32 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 77.83 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 16.47% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The massive growth of the e-commerce industry, coupled with the significant adoption of cloud computing solutions across industries, is expected to act as a major driver for the growth in the adoption of Commerce Cloud globally.

Key Highlights
- Due to its minimal latency and networking virtualization capabilities, 5G is expected to facilitate secure and automated payment methods, which would boost the adoption and usage of cloud applications like mobile payments, smart wallets, and other digital banking services that are anticipated to use 5G for a quick and safer banking experience. Thus, the aforementioned reasons imply that 5G wireless networks would boost the adoption of cloud commerce systems.
- Also, an increasing focus on improving customer experience in the industry is expected to drive the market's growth. Technological advancements are raising customers' expectations and reshaping how they experience different brands. Companies that take a holistic CX (Customer Experience) approach by investing in technologies that will digitally transform the business to stay ahead of customer expectations see a 92% customer retention rate.
- However, privacy and security issues such as data security and network security, among others, are expected to hinder the adoption of Commerce Cloud solutions, especially amongst small and medium-sized businesses.
- Moreover, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the business landscape changed drastically, with a significant increase in the demand for digital business platforms. Hence, Salesforce Commerce Cloud released four quick-start pandemic business packages specifically designed to help conduct business during COVID-19.
- Furthermore, companies require the flexibility of multiple clouds. However, they continue to struggle with the complexity, operational silos, and costs of managing private and public clouds. Businesses require a unified solution that provides a consistent experience, tooling, and operational practices across clouds. Due to this, companies are focusing on enhancing their existing solutions.
- In October 2022, HCL Technologies, a global technology company, and Google Cloud announced the substantial expansion of their long-standing collaboration, with additional capabilities and service solutions to accelerate business migration to Google Cloud.

This ensures that the customers are provided with real-time, updated information that could contribute to a better experience.
- B2C Commerce Cloud Platforms are likely to get the most attention from brands and retailers who are looking for ways to give customers easy and enjoyable shopping experiences. Commerce Cloud has a set of solutions that help brands and retailers come up with new ideas quickly, give customers connected, personalized experiences, and increase customer engagement, sales, and loyalty across channels.

People today have more ways to spend their money than ever before, and businesses have a lot of new digital ways to reach markets they haven't been able to reach before.
- Several retailers collaborate with B2C commerce cloud providers to create unified, intelligent digital commerce experiences, both online and in-store. For instance, in June last year, Salesforce collaborated with TikTok to make it simple for Commerce Cloud merchants to participate in the TikTok community by marketing to consumers and making their products more discoverable. This collaboration is the latest Commerce Cloud platform investment to assist businesses in reaching social-media-savvy customers.
- Salesforce continues to expand its marketing and commerce solutions, focusing on "data-driven experiences." There is a strong emphasis on Marketing Cloud CDP, Salesforce's customer data platform, and it is the launching platform for other advancements. Another point of contention is the connection between Commerce Cloud and Marketing Cloud.
- Companies are also emerging in the region to provide innovative commerce cloud solutions and attract maximum market share. For instance, in June 2022, Salesforce introduced new customer 360 features across its commerce and marketing clouds to help businesses develop trusted connections at scale.
