The pie charts demonstrate a comparison between sectors of online retail sales in Canada for the years 2005 and 2010.
Firstly, both pie charts appear to be roughly similar, indicating that Canadians’ spending trends have not changed significantly over the 5 years, yet there are some particular changes.
Primarily, the main focus of spending in 2005 was electronics and appliances, accounting for a whole 35% chunk of the sales, yet in 2010 the first sector of demand was food and beverage, eating up 32% of the pie chart. There was a 5% fall in the sales of devices, balanced out by a 5% rise in the sales of video games.
Furthermore, there was an strong decrease in the sales of home furnishings, dropping from 25% to 15%.
Overall, the boldest change on the pie chart is regarding the increase in the sales of video games and food and beverage, being most of what was consumed by canadians in 2010.
