Summary

Introduction

The online sector is the most dynamic aspect of retail, yet it is also characterised by a lack of reliable market information. By combining a comprehensive survey of the online shopping habits of over 3,000 consumers with thorough analysis of retailers' online strategies and market issues, Verdict's e-Retail 2007 is a uniquely valuable tool for any retailer.

Scope

Full analysis of key issues affecting the development of the market, including broadband access, Internet security and multichannel strategies.
Market value and growth 2001-2006 with annual forecasts to 2011 for the online market and nine key sub sectors separately.
Consumer research analysing demographic profile of online shopper. Shopper profiles by age, gender, socio-economic group and region are also included.
Assessment of Internet shopper behaviour including how consumers find websites and what factors determine why they prefer one retailer over another.

Highlights

The e-retail market grew at its fastest pace for three years in 2006. Despite years of breakneck growth, there is no sign that the online boom is set to end. In 2006, online retail spending grew almost 13 times faster than the retail sector overall to a record 10.9bn and pushed the sector's share of total retail spending to 4.0%.

Electricals, the largest online subsector achieved the fastest growth rate in 2006. Online sales of electricals grew by an impressive 41.4% to 2.8bn over the year to account for 11.6% of all spending on electricals. Key to its phenomenal success was strong consumer demand for flat panel TVs, paricularly in the run-up to the World Cup.

As shoppers have become more confident with using the Internet and retailers' reputations for reliable deliveries have improved so too has the average annual spend per shopper which reached 606 in 2006. However rather than being driven by customers spending more each time they shop, spend has grown because consumers are shopping more often.
