This infographic from Statista shows just how big online shopping as become and who the major players are within it. Unsurprisingly, Amazon is the one to rule them all, with 164 million monthly visitors in the first quarter of 2014. As the number of digital shoppers continues to grow, different products tend to favor different commerce platforms. For example, video game purchases are much more popular on smartphones than say, home and garden and computer hardware products, and digital content is much more popular on tablets than video games are.
While the desktop is still the most dominant force in ecommerce, that is clearly bound to change. Social commerce, interestingly enough, is one sector that has reached its peak, as it is predicted to shrink by 26 percent by 2018.
