After analyzing the U.S. Market data, Monica Peart (a Senior Forecasting Analyst for eMarketer) says – “Frequency of purchases and higher-value transactions are really growing online,” “As a more mature market, we’re seeing sales continue to grow because of that. People are more willing to buy big-ticket items online.”

It represents that the growth in the willingness of people to spend online is the main reason behind such sales growth.
