According to ComScore, online shopping this holiday season will reach $61 billion during November and December, a growth of 16 per cent over last year.
ComScore estimates that e-commerce will grow 25 per cent over last year. Sales are expected to rise using computers by 13 per cent to $53.9 billion, while mobile spending will grow by 17 per cent to $6.7 billion this quarter.
“Although some lasting effects of the great recession still provide some overhang on the economy, many of the latest indicators point toward signs of optimism for consumer spending during the holidays,” said ComScore’s Executive Chairman Emeritus Gian Fulgoni, as reported by FierceRetail.
“The recent trends we’ve seen in online consumer spending suggest that American consumers are ready to open their wallets and embrace the spirit of giving this holiday season.”
