E-COMMERCE:
EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION IN THE
FAST-MOVING CONSUMER GOODS WORLD?
AUGUST 2014
2 E-COMMERCE: EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION
E-COMMERCE
SHIFTS INTO
HIGHER GEAR
E-commerce is big business and getting bigger every day. Growth
estimates from eMarketer report that business-to-consumer (B2C)
e-commerce sales worldwide will reach $1.5 trillion in 2014, increasing
nearly 20% over 2013. But not all e-commerce categories are created
equal.
The most popular e-commerce categories, not surprisingly, are non-
consumable—durables and entertainment-related products. Nielsen
reports that almost half of global respondents in an online survey
intend to purchase clothing or make airline or hotel reservations using
an online device in the next six months. Other categories growing in
prominence for online shopping include e-books, event tickets, sporting
goods and toys (to name a few). Spending intentions for each have risen
at a double-digit or near double-digit percentage-point rates since 2011.
Online purchase intention rates have doubled in three years for 12 of 22 measured categories
Online browsing is highest in Latin America; online buying is highest in Asia-Pacific
Consumable products have a one-to-one browse-to-buy ratio
Mobile phones are catching up in developing countries as the favored online shopping device
Nearly half use apps to save money; one in three use them to manage grocery lists
Millennials make up more than half of those who intend to buy online
AROUND THE WORLD

The findings in this survey are based on respondents with online access in 60
countries. While an online survey methodology allows for tremendous scale and
global reach, it provides a perspective only on the habits of existing Internet
users, not total populations. In developing markets where online penetration
is still growing, audiences may be younger and more affluent than the general
population of that country. In addition, survey responses are based on claimed
behavior rather than actual metered data.
Where noted, the survey research is supplemented with observed behavior using
Nielsen’s retail, consumer purchase and digital panels.
ABOUT THE GLOBAL SURVEY METHODOLOGY
The online market for buying groceries and other consumable products
is comparatively smaller—but is starting to show promise. While
durables are the starting point of adoption, consumables are attractive
due to the frequency of purchase. Aside from online purchasing, digital
is an increasingly important research and engagement platform.
Consumable categories are not likely reach the same level of online
prominence as non-consumable categories due to the hands-on buying
nature and perishability of the products, but the market is wide open
and an eager audience is at the ready. This study provides clarity about
global consumers’ buying intentions for both consumable and non-
consumable categories in the growing e-commerce landscape, which
answers important questions for brand marketers and retailers on who
is buying what and how they can achieve greater success.
“The lightning-fast pace of change in the digital landscape has ushered
in a consumer mindset that is both adventurous and exploratory
when it comes to online shopping,” said John Burbank, President of
Strategic Initiatives, Nielsen. “Consumers everywhere want a good
product at a good price, and the seemingly limitless options available
in a virtual environment provide new opportunities for both merchants
and consumers. The market for fast-moving consumer goods is no
exception.”
To take the pulse of the online shopping and purchasing intentions of
consumers worldwide, Nielsen surveyed 30,000 online consumers in
60 countries to reveal the most popular product categories for buying
versus browsing and where purchase propensity is leading and lagging.
Importantly, we take a close look at online strategies that resonate
positively with consumers when considering a consumable purchase
online, and we uncover a few barriers that may stand in the way of
success.
4 E-COMMERCE: EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION
ONLINE BUYING
OR BROWSING?
Are consumers using the Internet to research products with the
intention of making a purchase online, or are they taking their new-
found knowledge back to brick-and-mortar retail locations to make
the transaction? The answer largely depends on the product—and
you may be surprised by some of the findings.
When it comes to shopping for clothes, event tickets, books and
toys, or making reservations for tours and hotels, consumers
typically have something specific in mind. For these transactions,
there is mostly a one-to-one correlation between online searching
and shopping—those who browse online also buy online. These
closely linked browsing/buying items are also among those with the
highest respondent purchase intention rates, which range between
35% and 46%.
Consumable products, on the other hand, have lower online browse/
buy intention rates than non-consumable products, but surprisingly,
they boast just as strong browse-to-buy correlations. For example,
for cosmetics, 33% of global respondents say they browse and
31% say they buy: nearly a one-to-one correlation. Similarly, about
one-third of global respondents say they browse and buy personal
care products (31%/29%) and groceries (30%/27%). About one-
fourth browse and buy pet products (24%/21%) and baby supplies
(23%/20%), and roughly one-fifth browse/buy flowers (20%/18%)
and alcoholic drinks (20%/17%).
“Strong online browse-to-buy correlation rates for fast-moving
consumer goods translates to loyal repeat customers for these
categories,” said Burbank. “While these categories are still in the
early stages of online adoption, these correlations signal great news
for retailers. Now is the time to create omni-channel experiences
for consumers who are actively using both digital and physical
platforms to research and purchase, as increasingly, they don’t make
a distinction between the two.”
5Copyright © 2014 The Nielsen Company
As noted, people are more likely to buy non-consumables online.
But some have lower browse/buy ratios. Products more conducive to
online browsing than buying include: electronic equipment, mobile
phones, computer hardware/software, sporting goods and cars/
motorcycles. These products can carry a high price tag and often
require a physical try-before-you-buy test run. The browse-to-buy
difference for these products averages about 7 percentage points.
Of 22 categories in the study, the only category with a higher global
online buy-to-browse ratio is airline tickets (48% buy/40% browse).
Securing air travel plans online has proven to be a reliable and
effective method for many.

EMERGING
MARKETS RACE
TO EMBRACE
E-COMMERCE
The appetite for online browsing is strongest in the largely
developing regions of Latin America and Asia-Pacific, with both
eclipsing the global average for all 22 categories in the study. But
similarities between the two regions stop there.
The biggest difference? Latin Americans browse and Asia-Pacific
respondents buy.
In fact, while online browsing rates are highest in Latin America,
online buying rates for the region are the lowest for just about every
category in the study. Conversely, online buying rates in Asia-Pacific
are the highest of any region—so high that buying rates exceed
browsing rates for more than half (14) of the categories.

“Latin Americans are enthusiastic online shoppers, but the online
retail infrastructure has not yet caught up with offering conversion
opportunities,” said Burbank. “Other barriers to e-commerce success
include Internet access, shipping costs, high taxes and problematic
delivery logistics. Asia is the farthest down the e-commerce maturity
curve. In Asia-Pacific, tech-savvy consumers have already embraced
the convenience of online shopping. Attracting new buyers using
mobile could be an accelerator in the developing markets, as it
provides greater access to more people faster.”
Online browsing and buying percentages are similar in Europe,
North America and the Middle East/Africa, with a few exceptions,
but for different reasons than those which affect Latin America and
Asia-Pacific. It comes down to availability and opportunity.
In North America and the largely-developed region of Europe, there
is no shortage of product availability. Shopping options in these
regions proliferate and online retailing represents another channel
competing for market share.
“Western Europe is leading the way on consumer-packaged goods
category adoption for e-commerce,” said Burbank. “In the U.K. and
France, the traditional hypermarkets and grocery retailers have gone
‘all in’ and are driving real change with consumers on their buying
habits.” Online trips for fast-moving consumer goods in Great
Britain have increased from 70 million in the year ending Q1 2013
to 91 million in the year ending Q1 2014, and in France, trips have
increased from 32 million to 42 million in that time period.
In the Middle East/Africa region, lower-than-average online
percentages can largely be attributed to opportunity—or lack thereof.
In a region where disposable income is low and shopping for daily
needs is the norm, online shopping is not a priority. But that will
change as more consumers continue to move up the socio-economic
ladder.

CATEGORIES WITH
ROOM TO GROW
E-commerce has come a long way in a short time. Online purchase
intention rates have doubled in three short years for more than half
of the categories measured between 2011 and 2014. And these high-
growth categories still have plenty of room to grow digitally.
Global online purchase intention rates in 2014 have doubled since
2011 for event tickets (41%), electronic books (34%), sporting goods
(31%), toys/dolls (29%), videos/DVDs/games (28%), music (27%),
pet supplies (21%)*, flowers (18%), cars/accessories (17%) and
alcoholic drinks (17%). And rates have tripled in these three years for
computer software (27%) and nearly tripled for baby supplies (20%).
The baby supply category is really taking off in China, Korea, France,
the U.S. and the U.K. to name a few countries. For example, of the
top 10 most popular categories sold online in China (based on
Nielsen e-commerce sales figures), sales of baby supplies already
comprise three categories. In Korea, baby supplies make up two of
the top 10 categories and in France, five. Diapers and infant formula
make up the largest portion of online sales compared to online and
offline sales: In China (29% diapers/23% infant formula); in Korea
(10% diapers/22% infant formula [hypermarket online sales only])
and in France (5% diapers/5% infant formula). Young moms should
be an obvious e-commerce focus for marketers for these products.
“While durable and entertainment-based categories are showing a
substantial rise in intent, consumable categories like pet supplies
and baby supplies are also gaining traction quickly,” said Burbank.
“While online transactions make it easy to download a book, buy a
ticket to a sporting event or book a hotel room, building a consumer
base for consumable categories requires more marketing muscle.
Finding the right balance between meeting shopper needs for
assortment and value, while also building trust and overcoming
negative perceptions, such as high costs and shipment fees, is vital
for continued and sustainable growth.”
Other consumable categories, such as cosmetics and groceries, are
also growing. Global online purchase intentions for the cosmetic
category increased 6 percentage points in three years, from 25% in
2011 to 31% in 2014, and groceries rose 5 percentage points, from
22% in 2011 to 27% in 2014. China and South Korea are leaders
in both categories, with purchase intentions exceeding the global
average by about 20 percentage points each.
*Purchase intention for pet supplies doubled since 2012.

AGE MATTERS WITH
DIGITAL SHOPPERS
Millennials (age 21-34) are a coveted demographic for marketers
in just about any industry, and e-commerce is no exception. This
age segment has grown up in the digital era, so this comes as
no surprise. But while Millennials comprise more than half of
respondents (53%) who plan to make an online purchase across
every product category in the study, older generations represent a
sizeable 40% share, too.
Reaching older age segments, however, is much more fragmented
territory than with their younger counterparts. As expected, the older
the age, the greater their decline in online shopping.
Globally, Generation X (age 35-49) respondents comprise about
28% of those willing to make a purchase online and Baby Boomers
(age 50-64) make up about 10%. The Silent Generation (age 65+)
contributes roughly 2%. The youngest age group, Generation
Z (under age 20), represents about 7% of those who intend to
purchase online.
Interestingly, the mix of age groups is consistent when you look at
the purchase behavior for every category in the study. While overall
purchase intention rates are higher and lower in one category or
another, the generational mix is roughly the same regardless of
the category. This suggests that once an online shopper, always an
online shopper. For example, Millennials make up a higher-than-
average percentage of respondents willing to buy groceries online
(56%), but Generation X still comprises 26% and Baby Boomers
make up 9%, which is not far from the global averages for these age
segments across all categories.
“While the generational mix of online shoppers currently skew
younger, attention to the needs of all segments should be considered
when developing outreach plans,” said Burbank. “Tomorrow’s
highest purchase-power consumers are ones who skew much higher
for digital shopping. As the population ages, greater percentages of
consumers will be connected and online prominence will continue
to grow. Building trust at the onset is the foundation for sustaining
lifetime loyalty among shoppers.”

DEVICE
DIFFERENTIAL
With a plethora of Internet-connected devices to choose from, there
is no shortage of ways for consumers to browse and buy online. And
the device of choice is decidedly different around the world.
Computers are the favored device for online browsing and buying
among respondents in all regions, but mobile phones are a close
second pick for respondents in the Middle East/Africa region
and growing in prominence in Asia-Pacific and Latin America. In
developing markets, mobile is often the first-access device to the
Internet. Tablets—which have been available for just four years,
beginning with the 2010 introduction of Apple’s iPad—are used by
nearly one-third (31%) of global respondents for online shopping.
North America (84%), Latin America (82%) and Asia-Pacific (81%)
boast the largest percentages of respondents using a computer
to shop online, exceeding the global average of 80%. European
respondents come up just below the global figure at 78%. Survey
respondents in the Middle East/Africa reported the lowest computer
usage at 60%.
Mobile phone usage is strongest in the Middle East/Africa, with 55%
of respondents using the device for online shopping—11 percentage
points higher than the global average of 44%. Similarly, mobile
phone usage is popular in Asia-Pacific (52%) and Latin America
(48%). One-third of European respondents (33%) and more than
one-fourth (27%) of North Americans use their mobile phones to
shop.
While tablets are currently less popular than other devices for
shopping online, their portability and large-screen features are
conducive to online shopping. As penetration of these devices
continues to grow, so too will online shopping usage. Tablet usage
in the Middle East/Africa (38%) and Asia-Pacific (35%) eclipse the
global average, followed by Latin America (29%), North America
(26%) and Europe (24%). Countries where tablet usage is strongest
include Egypt (46%), Saudi Arabia and Finland (44%), India (41%),
Indonesia and United Arab Emirates (39%).

THE TIPPING POINT
FOR ONLINE
CONSUMABLES
Little things can make a big difference. When it comes to growing an
online shopper base for consumable categories, knowing what drives
behavior is vital to increased engagement. And, of course, not all
shoppers want the same things.
While some shoppers treasure convenience and are less risk averse,
others need research and reassurance before making a purchase.
Still others are bargain hunters, always on the hunt for a good
deal. And then there are the skeptics. For these cynical shoppers,
overcoming negative online perceptions can be the difference
between a doubter and a devotee.
Regardless of shopper classification, when it comes to shopping
online for consumable products, the experience must be convenient,
cost-effective and safe. Companies that address these critical
components will be best-positioned for online success.
17Copyright © 2014 The Nielsen Company
SHOPAHOLICS
Online shopping for these global respondents is convenient (76%)
and fun (64%). They like getting email notifications from retailers
(46%), and they manage their grocery lists using a mobile app
or via an online tool (35%). As these shoppers represent active
online participants, marketers should leverage a full suite of online
strategies to keep them engaged. Offering tools that remember past
purchases, and providing flexible return policies and pick-up options
will help keep these shoppers coming back for more.
RESEARCHERS
Knowledge is king for these global online shoppers who like to read
online reviews prior to purchasing a product (71%). They spend a
considerable amount of time researching products before buying
(61%). Social media is a helpful tool in reaching these consumers
who often connect with friends, family and strangers to help make
purchase decisions (43%). To satisfy their need for knowledge, offer
detailed product descriptions and product images. Posting review
forums and product reviews will help to build trust.
SAVERS
Savvy savers are always on the hunt to find the lowest prices. These
global shoppers believe they get the best prices online (60%), and
they find deals that are better than those offered in the store (54%).
They subscribe to product and store emails to stay informed and
to save money (54%), and they use price-saving apps or websites
when planning a shopping trip (47%) and when in the store (42%).
When reaching these consumers, consider pricing and promotion
strategies that are competitive with or better than in-store offerings.
Offer online coupons and free shipping delivery options to help keep
costs low for these shoppers.
SKEPTICS
Privacy and security are worries for these global respondents who
are wary of giving their credit card information online (48%). To
help alleviate concerns, assure shoppers that their information will
be kept confidential by including security notifications at checkout.
Shipping costs (38%) and confusing websites (33%) are other
barriers for these skeptical shoppers. Free shipping is important
here, too, as is clarity of presentation.
To increase digital engagement, then, retailers must deliver on
multiple shopper needs for lower prices, quality choices and peace
of mind. Easy-to-navigate websites that offer a wide selection of well-
described, unique products with plenty of images and have proper
security protocols are a must.

Nielsen | Global ecommerce report -august 2014

  • 1. 1Copyright © 2014 The Nielsen Company E-COMMERCE: EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION IN THE FAST-MOVING CONSUMER GOODS WORLD? AUGUST 2014
  • 2. 2 E-COMMERCE: EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION E-COMMERCE SHIFTS INTO HIGHER GEAR E-commerce is big business and getting bigger every day. Growth estimates from eMarketer report that business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce sales worldwide will reach $1.5 trillion in 2014, increasing nearly 20% over 2013. But not all e-commerce categories are created equal. The most popular e-commerce categories, not surprisingly, are non- consumable—durables and entertainment-related products. Nielsen reports that almost half of global respondents in an online survey intend to purchase clothing or make airline or hotel reservations using an online device in the next six months. Other categories growing in prominence for online shopping include e-books, event tickets, sporting goods and toys (to name a few). Spending intentions for each have risen at a double-digit or near double-digit percentage-point rates since 2011. Online purchase intention rates have doubled in three years for 12 of 22 measured categories Online browsing is highest in Latin America; online buying is highest in Asia-Pacific Consumable products have a one-to-one browse-to-buy ratio Mobile phones are catching up in developing countries as the favored online shopping device Nearly half use apps to save money; one in three use them to manage grocery lists Millennials make up more than half of those who intend to buy online AROUND THE WORLD
  • 3. 3Copyright © 2014 The Nielsen Company The findings in this survey are based on respondents with online access in 60 countries. While an online survey methodology allows for tremendous scale and global reach, it provides a perspective only on the habits of existing Internet users, not total populations. In developing markets where online penetration is still growing, audiences may be younger and more affluent than the general population of that country. In addition, survey responses are based on claimed behavior rather than actual metered data. Where noted, the survey research is supplemented with observed behavior using Nielsen’s retail, consumer purchase and digital panels. ABOUT THE GLOBAL SURVEY METHODOLOGY The online market for buying groceries and other consumable products is comparatively smaller—but is starting to show promise. While durables are the starting point of adoption, consumables are attractive due to the frequency of purchase. Aside from online purchasing, digital is an increasingly important research and engagement platform. Consumable categories are not likely reach the same level of online prominence as non-consumable categories due to the hands-on buying nature and perishability of the products, but the market is wide open and an eager audience is at the ready. This study provides clarity about global consumers’ buying intentions for both consumable and non- consumable categories in the growing e-commerce landscape, which answers important questions for brand marketers and retailers on who is buying what and how they can achieve greater success. “The lightning-fast pace of change in the digital landscape has ushered in a consumer mindset that is both adventurous and exploratory when it comes to online shopping,” said John Burbank, President of Strategic Initiatives, Nielsen. “Consumers everywhere want a good product at a good price, and the seemingly limitless options available in a virtual environment provide new opportunities for both merchants and consumers. The market for fast-moving consumer goods is no exception.” To take the pulse of the online shopping and purchasing intentions of consumers worldwide, Nielsen surveyed 30,000 online consumers in 60 countries to reveal the most popular product categories for buying versus browsing and where purchase propensity is leading and lagging. Importantly, we take a close look at online strategies that resonate positively with consumers when considering a consumable purchase online, and we uncover a few barriers that may stand in the way of success.
  • 4. 4 E-COMMERCE: EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION ONLINE BUYING OR BROWSING? Are consumers using the Internet to research products with the intention of making a purchase online, or are they taking their new- found knowledge back to brick-and-mortar retail locations to make the transaction? The answer largely depends on the product—and you may be surprised by some of the findings. When it comes to shopping for clothes, event tickets, books and toys, or making reservations for tours and hotels, consumers typically have something specific in mind. For these transactions, there is mostly a one-to-one correlation between online searching and shopping—those who browse online also buy online. These closely linked browsing/buying items are also among those with the highest respondent purchase intention rates, which range between 35% and 46%. Consumable products, on the other hand, have lower online browse/ buy intention rates than non-consumable products, but surprisingly, they boast just as strong browse-to-buy correlations. For example, for cosmetics, 33% of global respondents say they browse and 31% say they buy: nearly a one-to-one correlation. Similarly, about one-third of global respondents say they browse and buy personal care products (31%/29%) and groceries (30%/27%). About one- fourth browse and buy pet products (24%/21%) and baby supplies (23%/20%), and roughly one-fifth browse/buy flowers (20%/18%) and alcoholic drinks (20%/17%). “Strong online browse-to-buy correlation rates for fast-moving consumer goods translates to loyal repeat customers for these categories,” said Burbank. “While these categories are still in the early stages of online adoption, these correlations signal great news for retailers. Now is the time to create omni-channel experiences for consumers who are actively using both digital and physical platforms to research and purchase, as increasingly, they don’t make a distinction between the two.”
  • 5. 5Copyright © 2014 The Nielsen Company As noted, people are more likely to buy non-consumables online. But some have lower browse/buy ratios. Products more conducive to online browsing than buying include: electronic equipment, mobile phones, computer hardware/software, sporting goods and cars/ motorcycles. These products can carry a high price tag and often require a physical try-before-you-buy test run. The browse-to-buy difference for these products averages about 7 percentage points. Of 22 categories in the study, the only category with a higher global online buy-to-browse ratio is airline tickets (48% buy/40% browse). Securing air travel plans online has proven to be a reliable and effective method for many.

  • 7. 7Copyright © 2014 The Nielsen Company EMERGING MARKETS RACE TO EMBRACE E-COMMERCE The appetite for online browsing is strongest in the largely developing regions of Latin America and Asia-Pacific, with both eclipsing the global average for all 22 categories in the study. But similarities between the two regions stop there. The biggest difference? Latin Americans browse and Asia-Pacific respondents buy. In fact, while online browsing rates are highest in Latin America, online buying rates for the region are the lowest for just about every category in the study. Conversely, online buying rates in Asia-Pacific are the highest of any region—so high that buying rates exceed browsing rates for more than half (14) of the categories.

  • 8. 8 E-COMMERCE: EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION “Latin Americans are enthusiastic online shoppers, but the online retail infrastructure has not yet caught up with offering conversion opportunities,” said Burbank. “Other barriers to e-commerce success include Internet access, shipping costs, high taxes and problematic delivery logistics. Asia is the farthest down the e-commerce maturity curve. In Asia-Pacific, tech-savvy consumers have already embraced the convenience of online shopping. Attracting new buyers using mobile could be an accelerator in the developing markets, as it provides greater access to more people faster.” Online browsing and buying percentages are similar in Europe, North America and the Middle East/Africa, with a few exceptions, but for different reasons than those which affect Latin America and Asia-Pacific. It comes down to availability and opportunity. In North America and the largely-developed region of Europe, there is no shortage of product availability. Shopping options in these regions proliferate and online retailing represents another channel competing for market share. “Western Europe is leading the way on consumer-packaged goods category adoption for e-commerce,” said Burbank. “In the U.K. and France, the traditional hypermarkets and grocery retailers have gone ‘all in’ and are driving real change with consumers on their buying habits.” Online trips for fast-moving consumer goods in Great Britain have increased from 70 million in the year ending Q1 2013 to 91 million in the year ending Q1 2014, and in France, trips have increased from 32 million to 42 million in that time period. In the Middle East/Africa region, lower-than-average online percentages can largely be attributed to opportunity—or lack thereof. In a region where disposable income is low and shopping for daily needs is the norm, online shopping is not a priority. But that will change as more consumers continue to move up the socio-economic ladder.

  • 10. 10 E-COMMERCE: EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION CATEGORIES WITH ROOM TO GROW E-commerce has come a long way in a short time. Online purchase intention rates have doubled in three short years for more than half of the categories measured between 2011 and 2014. And these high- growth categories still have plenty of room to grow digitally. Global online purchase intention rates in 2014 have doubled since 2011 for event tickets (41%), electronic books (34%), sporting goods (31%), toys/dolls (29%), videos/DVDs/games (28%), music (27%), pet supplies (21%)*, flowers (18%), cars/accessories (17%) and alcoholic drinks (17%). And rates have tripled in these three years for computer software (27%) and nearly tripled for baby supplies (20%). The baby supply category is really taking off in China, Korea, France, the U.S. and the U.K. to name a few countries. For example, of the top 10 most popular categories sold online in China (based on Nielsen e-commerce sales figures), sales of baby supplies already comprise three categories. In Korea, baby supplies make up two of the top 10 categories and in France, five. Diapers and infant formula make up the largest portion of online sales compared to online and offline sales: In China (29% diapers/23% infant formula); in Korea (10% diapers/22% infant formula [hypermarket online sales only]) and in France (5% diapers/5% infant formula). Young moms should be an obvious e-commerce focus for marketers for these products. “While durable and entertainment-based categories are showing a substantial rise in intent, consumable categories like pet supplies and baby supplies are also gaining traction quickly,” said Burbank. “While online transactions make it easy to download a book, buy a ticket to a sporting event or book a hotel room, building a consumer base for consumable categories requires more marketing muscle. Finding the right balance between meeting shopper needs for assortment and value, while also building trust and overcoming negative perceptions, such as high costs and shipment fees, is vital for continued and sustainable growth.” Other consumable categories, such as cosmetics and groceries, are also growing. Global online purchase intentions for the cosmetic category increased 6 percentage points in three years, from 25% in 2011 to 31% in 2014, and groceries rose 5 percentage points, from 22% in 2011 to 27% in 2014. China and South Korea are leaders in both categories, with purchase intentions exceeding the global average by about 20 percentage points each. *Purchase intention for pet supplies doubled since 2012.

  • 12. 12 E-COMMERCE: EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION AGE MATTERS WITH DIGITAL SHOPPERS Millennials (age 21-34) are a coveted demographic for marketers in just about any industry, and e-commerce is no exception. This age segment has grown up in the digital era, so this comes as no surprise. But while Millennials comprise more than half of respondents (53%) who plan to make an online purchase across every product category in the study, older generations represent a sizeable 40% share, too. Reaching older age segments, however, is much more fragmented territory than with their younger counterparts. As expected, the older the age, the greater their decline in online shopping. Globally, Generation X (age 35-49) respondents comprise about 28% of those willing to make a purchase online and Baby Boomers (age 50-64) make up about 10%. The Silent Generation (age 65+) contributes roughly 2%. The youngest age group, Generation Z (under age 20), represents about 7% of those who intend to purchase online. Interestingly, the mix of age groups is consistent when you look at the purchase behavior for every category in the study. While overall purchase intention rates are higher and lower in one category or another, the generational mix is roughly the same regardless of the category. This suggests that once an online shopper, always an online shopper. For example, Millennials make up a higher-than- average percentage of respondents willing to buy groceries online (56%), but Generation X still comprises 26% and Baby Boomers make up 9%, which is not far from the global averages for these age segments across all categories. “While the generational mix of online shoppers currently skew younger, attention to the needs of all segments should be considered when developing outreach plans,” said Burbank. “Tomorrow’s highest purchase-power consumers are ones who skew much higher for digital shopping. As the population ages, greater percentages of consumers will be connected and online prominence will continue to grow. Building trust at the onset is the foundation for sustaining lifetime loyalty among shoppers.”

  • 14. 14 E-COMMERCE: EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION DEVICE DIFFERENTIAL With a plethora of Internet-connected devices to choose from, there is no shortage of ways for consumers to browse and buy online. And the device of choice is decidedly different around the world. Computers are the favored device for online browsing and buying among respondents in all regions, but mobile phones are a close second pick for respondents in the Middle East/Africa region and growing in prominence in Asia-Pacific and Latin America. In developing markets, mobile is often the first-access device to the Internet. Tablets—which have been available for just four years, beginning with the 2010 introduction of Apple’s iPad—are used by nearly one-third (31%) of global respondents for online shopping. North America (84%), Latin America (82%) and Asia-Pacific (81%) boast the largest percentages of respondents using a computer to shop online, exceeding the global average of 80%. European respondents come up just below the global figure at 78%. Survey respondents in the Middle East/Africa reported the lowest computer usage at 60%. Mobile phone usage is strongest in the Middle East/Africa, with 55% of respondents using the device for online shopping—11 percentage points higher than the global average of 44%. Similarly, mobile phone usage is popular in Asia-Pacific (52%) and Latin America (48%). One-third of European respondents (33%) and more than one-fourth (27%) of North Americans use their mobile phones to shop. While tablets are currently less popular than other devices for shopping online, their portability and large-screen features are conducive to online shopping. As penetration of these devices continues to grow, so too will online shopping usage. Tablet usage in the Middle East/Africa (38%) and Asia-Pacific (35%) eclipse the global average, followed by Latin America (29%), North America (26%) and Europe (24%). Countries where tablet usage is strongest include Egypt (46%), Saudi Arabia and Finland (44%), India (41%), Indonesia and United Arab Emirates (39%).

  • 16. 16 E-COMMERCE: EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION THE TIPPING POINT FOR ONLINE CONSUMABLES Little things can make a big difference. When it comes to growing an online shopper base for consumable categories, knowing what drives behavior is vital to increased engagement. And, of course, not all shoppers want the same things. While some shoppers treasure convenience and are less risk averse, others need research and reassurance before making a purchase. Still others are bargain hunters, always on the hunt for a good deal. And then there are the skeptics. For these cynical shoppers, overcoming negative online perceptions can be the difference between a doubter and a devotee. Regardless of shopper classification, when it comes to shopping online for consumable products, the experience must be convenient, cost-effective and safe. Companies that address these critical components will be best-positioned for online success.
  • 17. 17Copyright © 2014 The Nielsen Company SHOPAHOLICS Online shopping for these global respondents is convenient (76%) and fun (64%). They like getting email notifications from retailers (46%), and they manage their grocery lists using a mobile app or via an online tool (35%). As these shoppers represent active online participants, marketers should leverage a full suite of online strategies to keep them engaged. Offering tools that remember past purchases, and providing flexible return policies and pick-up options will help keep these shoppers coming back for more. RESEARCHERS Knowledge is king for these global online shoppers who like to read online reviews prior to purchasing a product (71%). They spend a considerable amount of time researching products before buying (61%). Social media is a helpful tool in reaching these consumers who often connect with friends, family and strangers to help make purchase decisions (43%). To satisfy their need for knowledge, offer detailed product descriptions and product images. Posting review forums and product reviews will help to build trust. SAVERS Savvy savers are always on the hunt to find the lowest prices. These global shoppers believe they get the best prices online (60%), and they find deals that are better than those offered in the store (54%). They subscribe to product and store emails to stay informed and to save money (54%), and they use price-saving apps or websites when planning a shopping trip (47%) and when in the store (42%). When reaching these consumers, consider pricing and promotion strategies that are competitive with or better than in-store offerings. Offer online coupons and free shipping delivery options to help keep costs low for these shoppers. SKEPTICS Privacy and security are worries for these global respondents who are wary of giving their credit card information online (48%). To help alleviate concerns, assure shoppers that their information will be kept confidential by including security notifications at checkout. Shipping costs (38%) and confusing websites (33%) are other barriers for these skeptical shoppers. Free shipping is important here, too, as is clarity of presentation. To increase digital engagement, then, retailers must deliver on multiple shopper needs for lower prices, quality choices and peace of mind.
