Businesses have already realized that sharing assets will bring not only multiple, sustainable added values but also financial and social benefits. Consumption within businesses will shift from the ownership model to the usership model.
Businesses have realized that reducing the use of natural resources through sharing helps bring down CO2 emissions and carbon footprints. Shift in consumption model from ownership to usership within businesses, rapid adoption of digital technology, the realization of economic benefit through collaborative consumption, and crowd-sourced assets and services will drive the growth of B2B sharing economy in the future. Sharing economy also opens up new avenues of revenue generation through renting or sharing idle capital-intensive equipment. There has been a surge in the number of start-ups in this space, enabling easy and secure sharing of resources.
B2B sharing will pace up like what B2C sharing is today in the next 10 years: B2B sharing economy will be recognized by big organizations as being one of the profitable routes to revenue from the capital-intensive idle equipment. Smaller and medium-sized enterprises will see B2B sharing economy as a way of reducing cost and minimizing initial set-up investment. Emerging regions will see more growth of the B2B sharing economy. The APAC region will have the highest potential for growth of B2B sharing economy in the next few years. Company and consumer willingness to share assets is highest in this region.
