2012 was another year when Ecommerce continued to lead the high street by attracting shoppers and increasing retail sales particularly for those businesses that are actively embracing the digital world. With a worldwide economic downturn affecting the spending ability of everyone except the super-rich for the past 5 years, any growth in a market except perhaps debt recovery is remarkable. Ecommerce retailers have been a part of a UK growth in the sector of 93% over the past 5 years which is an indication of where the future lies.

I know what you’re saying, please no, not an article on Christmas we’re still trying to enjoy the summer?

Ecommerce is worth £68bn in the UK this year (Ofcom, July 2012) a growth of £10bn (12.4%) in the last year.
