This document summarizes a presentation given by Darrick Li of comScore about online retail trends in Canada. Some key points:
1) E-commerce spending and transactions in Canada increased 10% and 17% respectively from 2011 to 2012.
2) While e-commerce dollars are growing at 10% in Canada, the growth is 16% in the US, possibly because small Canadian businesses lack the infrastructure of larger retailers.
3) Visits to retail websites in Canada have plateaued in recent years, with some categories like movies growing and others like books declining.
