Online retailvoorspelling Jupiter wel erg voorzichtig
Jupiter doet een voorspelling voor online retailing. Ik heb het nooit zo op voorspellingen. Ze komen toch nooit uit, is het niet aan de bovenkant, dan wel aan de onderkant. zo vind ik de volgende voorspelling wel erg voorzichtig. Immers een groei van maar 6% in 5 jaar tijd van mensen die voor het eerst op internet een aankoop doen, lijkt me vrij mager. Ook het feit dat internet in 2010 bijna de helft van de reatail sales beinvloedt vind ik raar. Dat doet het nu toch al? Immers, 80% van de consumenten gebruiken internet op dit moment om zich te orienteren bij de aanschaf van producten of diensten! :
By 2010, 71% of online users will use the Internet to shop compared to 65% in 2005, however, online retailers will find it difficult to find new non-buyers to convert. Online retailers will rely heavily on existing online shoppers to spend more than compared with previous years.
“Retailers can expect to be dealing with an increasingly experienced population of online shoppers,” said JupiterResearch Analyst Patti Freeman Evans. “The online retail environment is maturing, and online buyers have become more savvy about finding free shipping and deeper discounts,” added Freeman Evans.
The report also reveals that the Internet will influence nearly half of total retail sales in 2010, compared to just 27% in 2005. This projection combines total sales transacted online with those carried out off line but encouraged by online research. These offline sales will grow at a faster rate than online sales over the next five years, indicating both the need and opportunity for multichannel retailers to integrate their offerings. Driving this growth are the 85% of online shoppers who said they used the Internet to research their offline purchases in 2005.
“The fact that the Internet will influence nearly half of total retail sales in 2010 is staggering statistic for a shopping channel that will have been around for little more than 15 years by 2010,” said David Schatsky, Senior Vice President of Research at JupiterResearch. “Our research shows that this presents an enormous opportunity for retailers that embrace a well-integrated multichannel operational strategy,” added Schatsky
