The table compares and contrasts data on the differences between department stores and online stores in Australia in 2011.
A closer look at the diagram highlights the fact that online stores’ business significantly outnumbers department stores; however, their profit and revenue are nearly equivalent.
To be more precise, the number of online stores is over five times greater than that of department stores, with 368 and 67 businesses, respectively. In terms of profit, they show a very minimal gap, with only about 60 AUD dollars difference, with online stores yielding slightly higher profits.
When it comes to sales revenue, online stores still show superiority to department stores, generating 13,400 compared to 12,700 AUD dollars, respectively. On the other hand, the difference in the growth rates is not very noticeable, as online stores experienced a growth of 0.6% while department stores saw a growth of 0.4%.
