Data released this week showed that 2013 was the 'year of the mobile' for consumers in the UK, as shoppers spent 91 billion online, a new record and a 16% increase from 2012.
This means that online sales now accounts for 21% of the UK's overall retail market, according to the IMRG Capgemini e-Retail Sales Index.
The growth in sales was ahead of IMRG Capgemini's forecast of a 12% increase for 2013, with December sales rising 18% to 11 billion as shoppers bought their Christmas presents online.
