8. eCommerce Trends
• In the U.S. market, eMarketer predicts that mobile devices will account for 22% of all e-commerce
sales and mobile will influence 1 trillion retail transactions
• The Mexican e-commerce market has been going through rapid growth, growing 50%, 32%, and
30% in 2013, 2014, and 2015 respectively. But even with the increase in the size of the market, it
still makes up only 1.5% of the total retail market in that country. Regardless of this market’s
relative size, noticeable trends are emerging.
• In Canada, the e-commerce market is a lot like that of the U.S., but key differences make it stand
apart. The growth rate for online retail has hovered at around 17% a year — which is quite high —
with the U.S. and U.K. both seeing about 14% growth.
• No one is surprised to hear that e-commerce is growing rapidly in Europe, but what is surprising is
the%age of people making purchases online. Europe as a whole makes up a quarter of global
Internet users, with the number of users rising 275% since the start of the new millennia. In the
case of the U.K., this boom in Internet users has led to e-commerce sales making up 20% of all
sales.
