- E-commerce’s share of total retail sales in the U.S. is forecast to increase steadily — trending toward nearly 30% of all retail purchases by 2029, reflecting consumer preferences to research, compare, and purchase products online.
- Driven by smartphone ubiquity and frictionless checkout experiences, mobile commerce specifically is expected to account for nearly 50% of U.S. e-commerce sales by 2027, with continued growth projected through the decade.
- Major domestic brands report DTC channels growing between 8–16% YOY through 2029, as brands are prioritizing first-party data to build direct customer relationships outside of third-party marketplaces.
