87/100 Canadians Have Access to the Internet - Making Canada More Tech-Savvy Than America - With Companies Quickly Turning to MONEXgroup for eCommerce Solutions
Toronto, Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) May 23, 2014 -- OH CANADA! Canada has recently become an attractive opportunity for businesses willing to invest in eCommerce. According to a recent report by Forbes, 87 out of 100 Canadian citizens have access to the internet. Compare that number to the amount of United States citizens with access to the internet (81 out of 100) and it becomes apparent why the Canada is a big player in the ability and the desire to purchase online.
Study after study indicates the importance of the Canadian market to anyone interested in eCommerce. According to a recent study by the CBC, online retail sales in Canada are set to grow to $33.8 billion by 2018. Last year’s Canadian online sales generated $20.6 billion - up 35% from 2010. With these figures – it is no wonder why dozens of international businesses (such as Amazon) are setting up Canadian-specific .ca websites.
Perhaps most tellingly, well-established stores that have long been involved in eCommerce are opening shipping channels to Canada. Department stores like Macy's and J.C Penney have decided that they cannot ignore the Canadian buyer. This is great news for Canadians who like to have a variety of options when searching for a good deal, but it is a troubling development for some Canadian businesses – who are without an online presence.
