Key US Online Retail Market Driver

The growing seasonal and holiday sales is one of the key drivers supporting the US online retail market growth. For instance, from November 1 to December 24, e-commerce sales in the US increased by 11% in 2021, when compared to a massive 47.2% growth in the holiday season of 2020. E-commerce sales made up 20.9 % of total retail sales in the holiday season of 2021, slightly higher than 20.6 percent in 2020.

Key US Online Retail Market Trend

Omni-channel retailing is one of the key US online retail market trends fueling the market growth. It is rapidly becoming the norm for many retailers in the US. It offers consumers the option to shop online and pick up the merchandise from the store nearest to their location on the same day. Retailers are observing a high web influence on their in-store sales. For instance, Best Buy is integrating its offline and online stores to boost revenues. As a part of its omnichannel strategy, the retailer is utilizing physical stores as distribution centers for online purchases. According to Best Buy, 40% of its online shoppers prefer picking up their purchases from physical stores. Best Buy also challenges online and discount retailers with its match-to-price strategy, claiming to offer gadgets at or below the price offered by competitors. Such strategies are expected to boost market growth during the forecast period.

Key US Online Retail Market Challenge

Transportation and logistics are some of the factors hindering the US online retail market growth. Product procurement or sourcing, shipment of ordered items, and delivery to customers are the three major processes where the intervention of transportation and logistics come into the picture. All these processes require a high investment of both time and money, which challenges the efficiency and effectiveness of retailers and their costing strategies. The higher cost incurred from transportation and logistics reduces the margin of retailers, and most of the time, retailers are unable to break even. Between rising fuel prices, driver shortages, as well as a governmental and societal push for increased digitization and sustainability, transport and logistics will continue to be under a lot of pressure. Such factors will negatively impact the market growth during the forecast period.

This online retail market in the US analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
