Abstract
eMarketer estimates that US retail e-commerce sales (excluding travel) will
reach $131 billion this year. As the online channel matures, from now to 2011,
the annual average growth rate will slow to 17.5%, and increased spending by
existing online buyers- rather than new buyers coming online- will be the
driving factor.
The US Retail E-Commerce report analyzes the factors that are blurring the
distinctions between online and offline consumers.
Retail e-commerce reached an important inflection point in 2003 when increased
spending by existing online buyers replaced new buyers coming onboard as the
engine fueling e-commerce sales.
The competitive bar was raised. No longer would rising e-commerce numbers
float all online retailer boats.
For online retailers to grow today, they must take customers away from
competitors, motivate them to spend more and retain their loyalty.
