U.S.-China Trade Relations Shaping Future eCommerce Fulfillment: Policy Changes, Potential Impacts Explained


This IDC Perspective examines how IDC is adjusting its market projection for growth within the order management system (OMS) software market and explains the analyst's rationale for this change to the model in detail. The new forecast postulates that the OMS market is poised for a CAGR of 14.8% over five years, driven by regulatory changes, U.S.-China trade tensions, and increased demand for B2B logistics solutions in the United States. These complex macroeconomic and political dynamics are distilled in easily consumable language within the body of the document to help tie all the complex pieces together under a single thesis. Actionable, practical investment advice for technology buyers is offered at the end of the document. "The reduction in de minimis thresholds is already gradually reshaping U.S.-China trade dynamics, compelling Chinese manufacturers with DTC ecommerce models to raise prices as they pivot from DTC shipments to bulk B2B imports into the United States," says Heather Hershey, research director, Worldwide Digital Commerce Strategy at IDC. "In addition, American companies reliant on low-value imports from Hong Kong and mainland China face new compliance challenges in addition to the tariffs, driving demand for automation, third-party logistics services, supply chain management, and order management systems capable of orchestrating complex data flows and higher inventory volumes associated with shipments of goods in digital commerce."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
