Online shopping is up 13 percent so far this holiday season
Online shopping is up 13 percent to $33.8 billion in the first 44 days of the holiday shopping season, according to market researcher comScore. The fast growth of online shopping has been consistent for years now, as electronic commerce steals market share from physical retail stores, which typically grow sales at single-digit rates, if at all, during the holidays.
