Abstract
In 2007, Canadian retailers sold C$13.8 billion ($12.9 billion) of consumer
products and travel bookings online. By 2012 Canadian business-to-consumer
(B2C) e-commerce sales will reach C$22.8 billion ($22.2 billion). Not bad
numbers in a tough economy.
The Canada B2C E-Commerce report analyzes the reasons why Canada' s
online economy is positioned to weather the economic storm.
Between 2007 and 2012, Canadian B2C e-commerce sales will show a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%.
Strong numbers. But there are local problems.
Compared with other G-7 countries, until consumers in Canada show a larger
appetite for buying big-ticket physical goods online, such as home furnishings
and consumer electronics, the e-commerce market will remain relatively small.
However, the future looks brighter. As millennials- who participate in a
broader array of online activities than previous generations- enter their
income-earning years they will provide a lift in online sales.
