E-Commerce Growth Slows, But Still Outpaces Retail
Shopping continues to shift to the Web, but the years of torrid growth are coming to an end. In 2009, e-commerce in the U.S. managed to buck the recession that dragged down the rest of retail, growing 11 percent to reach $155.2 billion, according to Forrester Research (FORR). The research firm is predicting in a report out Monday that e-commerce in America will grow another 11 percent this year.
