Despite the doom and gloom we read about everyday regarding the 'credit crunch' it is with interest to note that online e-commerce sales in the UK continue to grow.
This year UK business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce sales (including digital downloads and tickets for travel and events) will total £59.8 billion ($116.6 billion), up more than 28% since 2007.
"Due to competitive prices, easy product comparisons, fuel savings and other convenience factors that encourage consumers to shop online," says Karin von Abrams, senior analyst at eMarketer and author of the new report, UK B2C E-Commerce: Continued Growth in Tricky Times, "we expect that online sales will continue to rise steadily during the next four years."
