    • Key differences between B2B and B2C markets include:
      • Product standard: B2B products are often customized, while B2C products are standardized.
      • Transaction size: B2B transactions are typically larger and more complex than B2C transactions.
      • Number of buyers: B2B purchases often involve multiple stakeholders and decision-makers, whereas B2C purchases typically involve individual consumers.
      • Number of transactions: B2B transactions are often fewer but more frequent, while B2C transactions are more numerous but less frequent.
      • Purchase decision: B2B purchasing decisions are often more complex and involve multiple stakeholders, whereas B2C purchasing decisions are typically made by individual consumers.
