The number of government regulations and industry compliances is growing at a fast pace across countries. Governments in various countries receive ~30% of revenue from the collection of sales tax and VAT. Tax evasion and tax fraud are serious concerns faced by them, and the adoption of digital solutions such as e-invoicing helps them inefficiently track business and financial transactions among various parties. Hence, countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Italy have been following the e-invoicing mandates in B2G, B2B, and B2C operations, among others. Government bodies and public administrators are the key enablers of the growth of e-invoicing in various geographies. For instance, there are explicit European Directives which outline various guidelines for European countries to adopt e-invoicing. Every country has distinct set of regulations, and to meet various regulatory compliances, companies need to be updated with ongoing developments to avoid any penalties or fines. The trend of various governments mandating the e-invoicing to do business in specific countries has boosted the adoption of e-invoicing.

The growing digital transformation trend across industries, rising e-invoicing-related compliance requirements, and favorable government initiatives to boost e-invoicing adoption are among the key factors driving the growth of the e-invoicing market. However, there are few issues/concerns related to e-invoicing solutions, which may restrain the mass adoption of these solutions in the coming years. Despite some limitations, the rising demand for cloud-based solutions and the adoption of advanced technologies such as Blockchain in the global e-invoicing market is anticipated to fuel the growth of this market during the forecast period.
