E-Commerce Sales Expected to Pick-up in 2010

Author: Michelle OBrien, Mar­ket­ing InsightsTODAY.com

U.S. retail e-commerce sales (exclud­ing travel) will total nearly $132 bil­lion in 2009, down about 0.4% from 2008. Assum­ing the reces­sion ends this year, as many econ­o­mists have pre­dicted, eMar­keter fore­casts that online sales will begin to rebound in 2010 and hit full stride in 2011.

Web research has become a pri­or­ity for value shop­pers in today’s reces­sion. Cur­rently, 86% of Web users are shop­pers who browse, research and com­pare prod­ucts on the Inter­net, but they do not nec­es­sar­ily buy online. Often ignored, store sales influ­enced by online research are three times higher than e-commerce sales.

Many con­sumers opt to buy online for con­ve­nience, price and broad prod­uct selec­tion. About 81% of Web shop­pers are also online buy­ers. Web con­sumers who refrain from buy­ing online often get hung up on secu­rity and pri­vacy con­cerns or the inabil­ity to touch and feel prod­ucts. Web retail­ers are adding new con­tent and fea­tures to lower these hurdles.
