Hi, we have a European B2B client on SCA, they want to expand and include B2C sales in the same webstore. What is the official NetSuite take on how to implement this? Can this be achieved with native NetSuite catalogue segmentation in the backend? What other considerations should be taken into account? Or should they purchase a separate SCA license, use a separate website record?

It depends on exactly what they want to do -- I have seen customers go both ways. Single site with PCV is definitely doable if you're happy to serve shoppers with the same branding and UX. Some people find segmenting the entire site into a second site preferable because it creates a cleaner separation.
Personally, I think PCV is super cool and could do the job. And if you're running the latest version, we just added some customer segment methods to the extensibility API

Thanks Steve 🙂 Where could I find documentation on these new customer segment methods?
Client is currently on SCA 18.2, to use PCV we would have to upgrade to SCA 21.1 though right?

PCV requires a minimum of 19.2 for basic features. To use all features you need 20.2. The extensibility API methods require 21.2. In any case, there's no point updating them to an out of date edition: you should bring them to the latest version available.
As for the API methods, I write about them here (which also links off to the API docs): https://developers.suitecommerce.com/whats-new-for-developers-in-netsuite-suitecommerce-20212.html#get-customer-segments
