Market Stats Some £5.6 billion worth of online orders will be fulfilled through collection in
2014, up 42% year on year; we estimate (incl. VAT). This is equivalent to 15% of all online retail sales of physical products, or
1.6% of all retail sales in 2014. In 2014, we expect 17% of online non-grocery purchases to be collected,
versus just 5% of online grocery purchases. We forecast the value of online sales fulfilled through collection to rise by a
third to around £7.4 billion in 2015, equivalent to 17% of all online purchases. By volume, we expect around 140 million online orders to be collected in
2014. Participation in click-and-collect is highest in electrical/electronic goods (53%
of online shoppers used click-and-collect in the last year) and then clothing and footwear (34% of online shoppers used).
Fully 85% of sales made for collection in 2013 were picked up from retailers’ own stores, we estimate. Collection from third-party retailers and from lockers accounted for the remaining 15%.
The share taken by third-party collection points will be bolstered by new collection services such as eBay via Argos and Doddle collection points at railway stations together with a planned expansion of the Collect+ network.
