Abstract
2008 was not a good year for e-commerce. Due to the economic crisis, eMarketer
lowered its US retail e-commerce sales (excluding travel) estimate to $137
billion, up merely 7% over last year. It' s the first year of single-digit
growth since the Department of Commerce (DoC) began tracking online sales in
1999.
The Retail E-Commerce Update report looks both forward and backward to
track the trends affecting this important segment of the online economy.
After years of strong growth rates of 20% and higher, things are slowing down
online. E-commerce sales are poised to increase at only a single-digit pace
through 2012.
In fact, the impetus of further e-commerce growth will be increased spending
by current online buyers. Some of the increase will be organic as many online
buyers are naturally shifting a greater share of their purchases from stores
to the Web in search of more convenience, broader product selection and cost
savings.

- What is the forecast for retail e-commerce sales through 2012?
- What forces are influencing the growth?
