Has our online shopping experience changed, has it grown? Or have we changed ourselves?

Highlights

More people shop online

People who have purchased online in the last 28 days.

Being online means shopping online, too!

The increase of internet availability, speed and security together with the decrease in its cost affects behaviour online. More internet users also means more potential customers, which inevitably leads to more varied offers.
