- E-invoicing compliance is becoming a global, simultaneous challenge for multinational companies, with different countries using different rules, formats, and deadlines.
- Billentis estimates 600 billion invoices are issued yearly worldwide; about 29% of B2B invoices are already electronic, rising to roughly one-third by 2030 under mandates-only projections.
- Latin America leads in e-invoicing adoption (78%), followed by Europe (64%); the Middle East and Africa are growing quickly, while Asia remains earlier in adoption.
- Major mandates and rollouts are underway across many regions, including France, Poland, Germany, UAE, Oman, Nigeria, South Africa, and Malaysia.
- The key issue for companies is no longer readiness for one country, but maintaining continuous readiness across many evolving mandates.
