Economy

Still, the number of people shopping online, albeit minimal. In 2014 had 10.4 Internet users between 12 and 75 years ever bought something on the Internet, compared to 10.3 million people in 2013.

Despite the small increase in the number of Internet consumers earned more than 11 online retailers percent more in 2014 than in 2013. We spent so more per person on the internet.

Eight million of Internet users in 2014 called the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) ‘frequent e-shoppers’, they have the last three months of the year at least once bought something online. About two million Internet users bought last year nothing on the Internet. More than three-quarters of Internet users shop online so regularly, compared to half a decade ago.

household, such as furniture, washing machines and toys:. 39 percent last year compared to 31 percent a year earlier, according to CBS

In people aged 12 to 25 years is 94 percent. The over-65s have made significant progress: three-quarters every day online, compared to 43 percent in 2005.

Aside from shopping we do a lot more on the Internet. Six out of ten Internet users read as the digital newspaper. But online banking was the most popular activity on the Web: 86 percent regulates its banking online
