commercetools, the leader in digital commerce and creator of headless commerce, announced major company and product portfolio growth year-over-year that enabled customers of all sizes to capitalize on the shift to digital commerce.

The growth of the global eCommerce market – which is expected to total $5.55 trillion in 2022 – proves the demand for flexible, quick and modern commerce solutions as business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C) brands, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) look to compete in a digital first-economy. As the pioneer of headless commerce, commercetools will continue to disrupt the industry that’s seen minimal change in 30 years by helping brands adopt modern commerce practices and grow their revenue by creating innovative and seamless commerce experiences.
