The Centre of Retail Research figures, commissioned by vouchercodes.co.uk owner RetailMeNot, suggest growth of 19.5%, compared to the £14.5bn spent in 2013.
A growing proportion of ecommerce sales will take place over mobile devices. An estimated 29.8% of all online Christmas sales will be over tablets and smartphones, 301% more than at the same time last year. Some £2.1bn is set to be spent over tablets and £3bn – or 18% – over smartphones. That said, the majority of sales will still take place over PC and laptop.
Brick and mortar stores, even Walmart grocery stores, are pick up locations for free shipping, site-to-store purchases of any and everything online.
