The holiday season is the most important time of the year for both on- and offline retailers in the United States.
E-commerce sales are expected to reach $61 billion during this year’s holiday season, according to comScore’s official holiday spending forecast. Mobile commerce is expected to contribute $7.9 billion to this year’s total, which would represent a 25% jump over last year’s mobile sales. comScore expects consumers to embrace holiday shopping this year, as the economic sentiment has recently improved despite stagnant real wages.
This chart illustrates the rise of holiday season e-commerce spending in the United States from 2005 through 2013 and a forecast of 2014 spending.
