Online Sales Continue Growth in the UK and US

Online sales will reach $45 billion this year with cyber shoppers forking out $162 billion by 2020, research predicts.

Online sales accounted for only two per cent of the total retail spend in 2002 but price-comparison site uSwitch.com predicts it will reach 16 per cent by the end of this year and more than 40 per cent by 2020.

In total, 75 million consumers are shopping online and spending an average of four days per year doing so, said uSwitch.com.

Although UK high street retailers are in the doldrums, internet retailing is growing steadily and online sales in the UK reached two milestones in 2006.

The latest report from Verdict Research showed total online spending has topped £10billion, while online revenues for retailers tipped four per cent of total retail spending - both for the first time, year-on-year growth for the sector is 33 percent.

The report predicted online spending in the UK will reach £28.1billion by 2011 and have an 8.9 per cent share of the total retail spend.
