Brand manufacturers are at a critical stage as they weigh their relationships between trusted distributors and consumers seeking more personalized relationships with the brands that they love.

The trend toward digital places added pressure on the decision for how — not if — brands will navigate a direct relationship with their customers. According to Forrester, digital sales grew 49% compared to 15% for overall annual sales in 2020. In fact, 27% of total sales for brand manufacturers are now digital sales according to the same report.

Covid only accelerated this trend in 2020. According to the State of Commerce Experience, 72% of shoppers said that online shopping came to their rescue in 2020, with 51% of shoppers indicating they will maintain their online shopping habits in a post-Covid world. Additionally, 83% of brands reported double-digit growth in digital revenue in 2020, compared to a mere 9% of brands experiencing such growth in 2019.

The digital channel has also expanded into multiple channels including owned ecommerce, owned marketplaces, and third-party marketplaces. According to Forrester, 57% of ecommerce sales came from marketplaces in the US with online marketplaces representing 36% of digital sales for brand manufacturers.
