– Paris Retail Week 2017
E-commerce continues to grow
To kick off Paris Retail Week, FEVAD has published a review of online sales for the second quarter of 2017.
Once again, e-commerce is on the rise (11%). In fact, the French spent no less than 19.5 million euros over this period. And yet the average shopping basket has fallen: on average, the French spend 68 euros per order, a figure that’s declining. But they are buying more often. The study shows that they order 9.7 times per buyer over the quarter, compared with 8.9 previously.
Another important figure is that 81% of French people made at least one online purchase during the quarter.
Marketplace sales rose by +15% in Q2. Marketplace sales now account for 31% of sales by sites with a marketplace.
