According to
comScore’s estimates for Q2 2013, last quarter saw a 16 percent year-over-year growth in desktop-based retail e-commerce sales with $49.8 billion in spending. The earnings mark 15 consecutive quarters of positive year-over-year growth and eleven consecutive quarters of double-digit growth.
“Increased spending growth for the quarter not only reflects the long term share shift towards digital commerce, but also the near-term signals of sustained improvement in consumer sentiment,” said comScore chairman Gian Fulgoni, “This strength is particularly significant since the second quarter tends to be seasonally lighter for e-commerce, and, as such, represents a positive indicator for the back half of the year.”
ComScore reports 9.6 percent of consumers’ discretionary spending went to e-commerce last quarter, the highest second quarter share on record. Mobile commerce (m-commerce) experienced a 24 percent increase during the past year, with $4.7 billion spent via smartphones and tablets.
Apparel & Accessories, Digital Content and Subscriptions, Sports & Fitness, CPG and Home and Garden were the top-performing online product categories for the quarter.Retail E-Commerce (Non-Travel) Growth Rates Excludes Auctions, Autos and Large Corporate PurchasesTotal U.S. – Home & Work Locations (excl.
