Following the release of the IMRG Capgemini e-Retail Sales Index for January, online shoppers spend more on the web than in any previous January.
A record £4.5 billion was spent last month, which is the equivalent of £74 for every person in the UK was spent online.
“The index shows that January sales are as large a phenomenon online as they are on the high street, with the overall online market continuing to show strong growth,” said Anthoula.
“The high growth in electricals and clothing suggest that much of this spending is being driven by shoppers treating themselves to the items missing from their Christmas stockings.”
