The charts illustrate data about online shopping
sales
in New Zealand in both 2003 and 2013.
Overall
, it can be seen that in 2003, the travel sector had the greatest percentage
of online sales
, but in 2013, it experienced a decrease of 29%. All categories showed changes in their percentage
of online sales
over the years.
Taking a closer look, in 2003, clothes had the second-highest percentage
of online sales
at 24%. However
, film and music accounted for 21%, which was a very similar result. In 2013, the sales
of books increased slightly, reaching 22%. This
rise also
happened in the sector of film and music, which increased by more than 10% in their online sales
in New Zealand.
Unfortunately, the sector of clothes also
experienced a decline in 2013, losing almost 10% of its sales
, dropping from 24% to 16%. Travel online sales
reached their peak at 36% in 2003, which was the highest percentage
in both pie charts."Submitted by robertasottile.rbst on
