PRESS RELEASE
Hamburg, December 07th
, 2016
Growth of online retail in UK propelled by new channels, according to
yStats.com publication
A new report out of Germany-based research firm yStats.com outlines the expectations of analysts for online retail for
the next few years in the United Kingdom. “UK B2C E-Commerce Sales Forecasts: 2016 to 2020” tells of the importance of
innovations services such as shopping from mobile devices and click & collect service.
The maturing online retail market of the UK is predicted to lose a small percentage of total global online retail sales as the
online shopping takes off in other world regions, yet those other areas have a long way to go to match the levels attained this market:
online retail is above 10% of total retail sales, and over three quarters of the adult population already shops online in the UK,
according to sources cited in the yStats.com report.
One of the reasons for this world leadership in the UK is the use of multiple channels for online shopping. Shopping from
mobile devices is predicted by some sources cited in the yStats.com report to provide over half of all online retail sales by 2020. The
click and collect practice is also growing at a faster rate than overall online shopping, providing a challenge to pure online leader
Amazon.
