Recent statistics gathered from an in-depth study by BigCommerce tell us, that just over half of all Americans prefer to shop online.
In fact, almost all Americans have purchased something online at least once in their life, while 90% say they’ve made an e-Commerce purchase in the last month.
An openness to Online Shopping, also cuts across generational lines. Over 75% of millennials and over half of all Gen Xers, actually prefer e-Commerce over brick-and-mortar store shopping.
American Shoppers purchase everything online, from clothing to books, electronics to personal items.
U.S. eCommerce sales in the fourth quarter of 2022, grew 6.2% to the highest level in history: $299.12 billion; compared with $281.58 billion in Q4 2021, according to a Digital Commerce 360 analysis of U.S. Department of Commerce figures; released on February 2023.
But with such a large percentage of shoppers preferring the experience of purchasing items online, there’s lots of room for growth with an e-Commerce site!
