The pie chart illustrates the sales of online shopping for retail fields in New Zealand from 2003 until 2013. There are four categories,
such
as books, film/music, clothes, and travel. The unit measurement is in percentage.
To begin
with, film/music is the category that experienced a drastic jump from 22% to 33% in 2013.
This
growth phenomenon made film/music become the first category to be bought online.
Similarly
, books
also
rose by approximately 22% in the same year.
On the other hand
, regardless of a strong start with 37% in 2003, travel had fallen by quite a lot after 10 years with just 29%.
Next,
people's preference to buy clothes online
also
changed in another direction.
Thus
, clothes had decreased to just a mere 16% in 2013.
Overall
, the proportion of changes in the four categories is fifty-fifty.
Nonetheless
the dramatic fall in 2010, people's preference to buy travel online still remained second.
