Online Purchase - Global avg.
As the oil prices soaring to heights, people are looking for an alternative of driving all the way to outskirts of town and buy a piece of garment. And the alternative is to just sit in your relaxing chair do some clicks and get your favorite or latest fashion garment on your doorstep, let the retailers do all the oil burning and in turn money burning thing. And that’s why consumers across the globe are increasingly swapping crowded stores for one-click convenience, as online shopping becomes a safe and popular option. According to a recent global survey conducted by The Nielsen Company, over 85 percent of the world’s online population has used the Internet to make a purchase, up 40 percent from two years ago, and more than half of Internet users are regular online shoppers, making online purchases at least once a month .

Hey Prateek, I have my doubts regarding the e-commerce status here in India right now, Its still looked upon as an insecure way of shopping, and We are still not out of the “Look and Feel” method of shopping…
Anyways, Nice find, Keep up the good work

yes sarthak you are right. But speaking globally, people are actually shifting to this method of shopping due to both cost as well as comfort factor.
