In an article published on December 18, 2008 in eMarketer Daily, a daily newsletter covering the ecommerce markets, they point to grocery as having vast opportunity for growth. Check out the entire article at: http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?id=1006796
The article continues to read that though the ecommerce retail sales accounted for only 1.4 % in 2002 they predicts this channel will be recorded as 7% increase in 2008. They then go on to predict that by 2012 ecommerce will account for as much as 28% of overall retail business, with the highest growth in food, beverage, and grocery.
Many things account for this growth, especially in grocery. Generations of new grocery shoppers do not know a world without the Internet.
