The pie charts illustrate the distribution of three online platforms where people bought products between Australia and New Zealand in 2012, while the table displays their reasons for choosing online shopping. At first glance, it was evident that people in both nations predominantly used both local and international websites, and the reason was dominantly because of the lower price.
Regarding the proportion, in two countries, the combination of local and international websites was mostly used, comprising 72% in Australia and almost two-thirds in New Zealand. In contrast, using international platforms only was the least preferred option, accounting for not over than 10% in both nations, while utilising local websites stood at 20% in Australia and a quarter in the other state, remaining as the second preference over the two countries.
In terms of the reasons, having lower prices than conventional stores made up over a half of the percentage, while quality of goods were only 18% in Australia and 16% in New Zealand. In regard to comfortness, people who felt convenience when purchasing online comprised less than 24%, which was the second largest reason among the people. Additionally, other unpublished reasons were only 5% in both countries.
