1.) Number of Online Shoppers in the UK continues to grow

Hamburg-based secondary market research specialist yStats.com
presents in its latest UK B2C E-Commerce Report 2012
interesting findings related to the British B2C E-Commerce
market. Aside from trends, revenue figures and market shares,
the report covers the most successful product categories,
Internet user and online shopper figures and the top players
dominating UK E-Commerce. In the United Kingdom, not only
does the number of Internet users continue to grow, but also the
number of online shoppers. Whereas in 2010, two thirds of the
British population ordered products and services online, in 2011
this figure increased to more than 70%, compared to an EU
average of less than half of the population making online
purchases.

Food and Fashion Items are important British E-Commerce
Product Categories

In the first half of 2012, shoppers in the UK spent almost 35
billion GBP online, which shows a clear increase when compared
to the previous year’s figures. Forecasts for 2012 predict an
increase in B2C E-Commerce revenue of a high one digit
percentage figure in the UK. Fashion and sporting goods were
the most popular product categories in 2011, followed by travel
and household items. Other successful product categories were
movies/music and books and magazines. Online food purchases
are also becoming increasingly popular. Revenue from online
food purchases is expected to grow by more than 10 % annually
over the next few years. Fashion and clothing are likewise
popular E-Commerce products in the UK. Almost half of all
consumers make at least one purchase per month in this
category. Aside from purchases, researching product
information about fashion items is also a popular trend.

Significance of M-Commerce for B2C E-Commerce continues to
grow

Mobile shopping is another growing trend in the UK. As much as
5% of all E-Commerce revenue is generated using mobile
devices. Additionally, more than half of all smartphone users
have made at least one purchase with their mobile phones.
Safety and transaction speed are particularly important for
consumers in this context. Furthermore, researching product
related information with the help of a mobile phone is
widespread in Great Britain.

Amazon is far ahead of the Competition

According to the UK B2C E-Commerce Report 2012 by yStats.com
in the UK, Amazon has the highest number of unique visitors,
clearly ahead of generalists Argos and Tesco which combined
have fewer unique visitors than Amazon alone. Generalist Asda

generated by the company increased by more than one third
from 2010 to 2011.
