Some of the biggest highlights that piqued our interest:
- 45% of items bought on mobile phones were apps
- 33% of people sought social network recommendations when buying online
- 42% of online shoppers are (still) buying books, CD’s and DVD’s.

Our main take-out is that the e-commerce ‘boom’ is here, but it’s still in its infancy. Opportunities for entrepreneurs abound!
