Canadian E-Commerce To Increase

While online holiday shopping in the US remains robust things are different north of our border in Canada. Canadians lead the world in broadband penetration, time spent online, electronic banking and bill paying. Clearly they are an Internet savvy country but when it comes to making online purchases Canadians prefer to buy at a store. The chief complaint among shoppers is that Web retailers are not interested in selling online while retailers have not seen enough traffic on sites to justify improving their current sites. Concerns over security have caused Canadians to browse and gather information about a product online but not make purchases. Canadian retailers see the Internet as a business-to-business sales channel. There are signs of growth in the Canadian e- commerce market.
