Ecommerce continues to post record numbers. It is quickly becoming the dominant retail channel.
In general, ecommerce seems unstoppable. CBRE estimates:
E-commerce’s share of total retail sales is expected to rise from 20.7.% in 2021 to 23.4% in 2023, averaging 1.3 percentage point each year.
However, digital-impacted retail sales, which include purchases made online and purchases made in-store by consumers who used a digital channel to research or browse, are expected to rise even higher. Digital-impacted sales are forecast to total more than $2.4 trillion and account for more than 58% of total retail sales by 2023.
There is no lack of data. Indeed, it quickly overwhelms. WebSitePlanet.com has done a very well-designed series of infographics to look at critical sectors, regions and methods.
