E-commerce is growing, but it’s no longer on fire. Forrester Research released two new forecast reports on Monday. The reports project online retail in the U.S. and Europe will grow at a rate of 10 percent per year from 2010 to 2015. The report expects 2015 online retail to reach US$279 billion in the U.S. and 134 billion euros in Europe. The forecasts are comprised of business-to-consumer sales without travel and financial services. The European forecast includes 17 Western European countries and a summary by category of each of their markets.
I know here at Dydacomp we work with a number of small business owners who are making the transitions from traditional retail into the eCommerce game. There are so many benefits to creating an eCommerce site and these small businesses realize the potential and necessity for Multichannel retailing. Sure it may take time, but soon enough all consumers will begin to see the upside to shopping online.
