With Christmas set to see the UK’s 26,000 online shops cope with 25 million shoppers spending in excess of £7 billion, the IMRG has gone on to predict that 2007 will see the online spending boom continue, with internet spending reaching £42 billion, up £30 million on 2006.
A record £2.7 billion was pent online in November 2006, beating the amount spend in December 2005. Experts predict that the total online spend for December will reach £3.5 billion.
These figures have been backed up by research from the Office of National Statistics, which reported a rise in online sales in October contributing to the year’s overall total.
