The figures, reported on
eMarketer, do not include travel sales but tally with a survey taken just after Christmas which estimated holiday spending at more than $13.7 billion (see
ECommerce Market Goes From Strength To Strength). When travel sales are added, comScore estimates that US ecommerce revenue came to $20.7 billion, 31% higher than in 2001.
eMarketer predicted back in November that online sales (excluding travel) would total $13 billion in the final quarter of 2002 (see Online Sales To Rise In The Fall, Says eMarketer).
