How should the data be interpreted?
Reports based on count and amount show the size and growth rate of e-commerce. How the average transaction amount changes as the count increases gives clues about which segments consumers are spending in.
Monthly data is sensitive to seasonal effects (holidays, campaign periods); for this reason, year-on-year comparisons are more reliable.
The data usually covers card transactions; methods such as bank transfers, wallets or cash on delivery may not be included.
Using the data source correctly
When using this report in your own analyses, always state the source and date. When drawing trends with monthly data, comparing with the same period of the previous year helps remove the seasonal effect.
