computer and phoneHow Much Do You Really Know About Grocery eCommerce?

 

While online grocery shopping accounts for just 2% of total domestic consumer packaged goods sales, it is expected to more than double in the next few years. This growth will have several important implications for manufacturers and retailers. Meanwhile, there are several developments that may change the direction of grocery ecommerce.

 
A study from the Nielsen Company and MyWebGrocer predicts an increase to $25 billion by 2014 from $12 billion today. The study also found that 25% of CPG purchases are researched online where consumers look at retailer ads, search for deals, and find recommendations on social media sites.

  • It can be an ad network. Facebook is now the #1 display ad network. It delivers 31% of all impressions, according to measurement by comScore.  Nearly 1.11 trillion display ads were delivered to U.S. Internet users during the first quarter of 2011. Facebook accounted for 346 billion impressions, nearly double the number it delivered in Q1 2010, and accounting for nearly one third of all display ad impressions delivered.
