Key stat: Security and privacy concerns top the list of infrastructure barriers to agentic commerce adoption at 42.5%, edging out data quality/readiness (40.2%), according to a December 2025 survey from Logicbroker.

Beyond the chart:

• The enterprise concern is well-founded on the consumer side too. Some 65.5% of US consumers still have misgivings about agent-led payments, per Omnisend.
• Meanwhile, consumer readiness is building fast enough to create real urgency. Over half of US adults (52%) say they would allow an AI agent to choose and make a purchase on their behalf without asking for final approval, per Ipsos.
