From January to March 2024, U.S. retail e-commerce sales amounted to roughly 266.3 billion U.S. dollars, marking an increase compared to the previous quarter. Overall, retail e-commerce sales outdid the quarterly sales records registered in 2020.
During the second quarter of 2020, as COVID-19 spread across the globe, the U.S.’s quarterly e-commerce revenue reached 200 billion for the first time in history. In 2021, online retail sales account for ten percent of total retail in the United States. Clothing and accessories, including footwear, is one of the largest B2C e-commerce merchandise categories. Retail e-commerce sales in the United States are estimated from samples used for the Monthly Retail Trade Survey and exclude online travel services, ticket sales agencies, and financial brokers.
Shoppers expect fast delivery of their purchases, especially when it comes to grocery products. This segment of the e-commerce industry goes under quick commerce and is expected to generate increasing revenue in the next years.
