Canadian retailers are still sceptical toward E-Commerce, which is why US E-Commerce retailers are expected to increasingly enter the market with a wider product range than their Canadian counterparts. Growth rates of E-Commerce spending are predicted to grow significantly between 2011 and 2015. The percentage of B2C online revenue compared to all retail revenue is expected to reach approximately 10 % by 2015.
According to the "Canada B2C E-Commerce Report 2012" the most popular product category for online purchases in 2010 was "Travel", followed by "Event tickets" and "Books, magazines and online newspapers". As much as 80 % of all Canadians over 16 used the internet in 2010.
