Before we introduce you to our top ecommerce keynote speakers, here are a few interesting stats!

  • There are approximately 2.14 billion online shoppers worldwide.

  • According to the most recent projections, ecommerce sales will surpass $1 trillion in 2022 and make up over 20% of total retail sales by 2024.

  • It might be hard to believe, but more than one-third of American small businesses still do not have a website.

  • Did you know that the number one reason for online shopping is… free delivery?

  • China is the fastest-growing ecommerce market in the world.

  • Online shoppers make purchases on their phones more often than on PC.

Seeing all the numbers and stats above, we definitely don’t need to convince you that the ecommerce market is more critical than ever. In recent years it has completely transformed the retail landscape and forced even the most skeptical small business owners to offer their clients an easier way to purchase their goods and services.
