Chemdex - eine B2B-Bombe im steilen Aufwärtstrend - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[White House 2000]

Chemdex bringt Käufer und Verkäufer in den Bereichen Bio- und Gesundheitsforschung zusammen. Das klingt nach einem kleinen Markt. Sollte jedoch der Umsatz von CMDX stellvertretend für die Branche stehen, handelt es sich allerdings um einen relativ großen Markt. Chemdex setzte in den ersten neun Monaten des vergangenen Jahres $11,6 Millionen um. Eine immense Steigerung gegenüber den paar Tausend Dollar im Vorjahr. Per 04.01.2000 belief sich die Marktkapitalisierung des Unternehmens auf $3,6 Milliarden.
Angesichts des Umsatzwachstums könnte Chemdex eine sehr attraktive Anlage sein.

4900 Prozent Wachstum

Nach einer am Mittwoch veröffentlichten Studie der Marktforscher von Gartner Group wird der Business-to-Business-Markt bis zum Jahr 2004 auf $7,3 Billionen wachsen. Das ist 50 mal mehr als im Jahr 1999, als das Gesamtvolumen bei $145 Milliarden lag. Mit Business-to-Business (B2B) wird der elektronische Handel zwischen Unternehmen bezeichnet. Dieser soll Unternehmen helfen, Kosten bei der Materialbeschaffung oder dem Verkauf ihrer Waren zu sparen.

“Die B2B-Explosion steht kurz bevor. Sie wird angetrieben durch ein brisantes Gemisch aus Investmentfinanzierungen, Ausgaben im IT-Bereich und einer Euphorie, die in Neugründungen und eCommerce-Initiativen etablierter Unternehmen fließen wird,“ sagte Leah Knight, die Leiterin der Studie. Katalysatoren für diese Entwicklung sind „eMarket-Maker“ wie Ariba (Nasdaq: ARBA Kurs / Chart ; News) oder Commerce One (Nasdaq: CMRC Kurs / Chart ; News). Diese Firmen bieten elektronische Systeme, die den teilnehmenden Unternehmen den weltweiten Kauf und Verkauf von Waren ermöglicht.

Der Anteil des B2B-Marktes am gesamten Welthandel im Jahr 2004 von $105 Billionen wird laut der Gartner-Studie 7 Prozent betragen. eMarket-Maker werden Transaktionen in Höhe von $2,71 Billionen abwickeln. Das sind 37 Prozent des B2B-Marktes und 2,6 Prozent des Welthandels.

Wie man an dem Chart erkennen kann, geht der Kurs der Aktie seit Januar 2000 stufenweise nach oben.
