Canadian retailers are still sceptical toward E-Commerce, which is why US E-Commerce retailers are expected to increasingly enter the market with a wider product range than their Canadian counterparts. Growth rates of E-Commerce spending are predicted to grow significantly between 2011 and 2015. The percentage of B2C online revenue compared to all retail revenue is expected to reach approximately 10 % by 2015.

According to the Canada B2C E-Commerce Report 2012, the most popular product category for online purchases in 2010 was “Travel”, followed by “Event tickets” and “Books, magazines and online newspapers”. As much as 80 % of all Canadians over 16 used the internet in 2010.

Key Findings:

• Due to high costs and missing competition, only slightly more than 80% of Canadians had ever shopped online as of 2011, less than the global average of more than 90% and countries like Japan, the UK, South Korea and Germany.
