Online retail sales have been far stronger than anticipated so far in 2016, driven in a large part by mobile according to data from IMRG and Capgemini. Growth for online retail sales is currently running at +15.1% year-to-date (Jan-Sep) against the same period in 2015, 37.3% ahead of the original start-of-year forecast of 11%. With only three months of data still to come this year, the IMRG-Capgemini annual forecast for 2016 has now been revised to +15%.The Brexit vote also appears to have had little negative impact on online sales growth – with Q3 2016 (Jul-Sep) recording growth of +17% – which was the highest quarterly growth since Q1 2014.

Increasing Ecommerce Trends Indicate High Holiday Spending

  /     /  


As retailers gear up for the holiday shopping season, many hope that the recent stock market turbulence will not prevent the strong end-of-year performance of years past. Retailers have come to count on the sales spike that traditionally occurs during Q4. The US Department of Commerce found that in 2010 retail ecommerce sales jumped from $39.2 billion to $53.2 billion between the third and fourth quarters.
The findings released in August by the DOC show that retail ecommerce sales are on track. Preliminary sales for Q2 2011 were the highest of all preceding second quarters. And, importantly for online retailers, ecommerce’s share of total retail sales, while still small, is steadily increasing


comScore also cited positive change for Q2 2011 compared to the same period last year. Sales were up by $5 billion, the number of online buyers increased 16% and online buyer penetration among internet users increased 9 percentage points to 70%. The 2% decrease in dollars spent per buyer could be attributed to the increase in number of overall online buyers, particularly those from lower income segments..

In addition, comScore found that the income segment with the largest increase in online spending from Q1 2011 to Q2 2011 was households making less than $50,000 per year. They experienced 28% growth, a significant jump compared to the 8% change among earners of $50,000 to $99,000 and the 12% increase for those making $100,000 or more.
