The two pie charts illustrate the online shopping consumption for retail sectors in Canada between 2005 and 2010.
Overall, sales of electronics and appliance and home furnishings showed a downward trend during this period, while that of food and beverage and video games witnessed an increase by 2010.
In 2005, the figure for the consumption of electronics and appliance was the highest, accounting for 35%. It had decreased slightly to 30% in 2010, slightly lower than that for sales of food and beverage. Similarly, home furnishings also showed a dramatic fall, with the figure declining from 25% to 15%, and had become the least sold products by 2010.
By contrast, a significant rise was seen in sales of food and beverage, with a jump from 22% in 2005 to 32% in 2010, representing the largest percentage. The figure for sales of video games took up 18% in 2005, which was the least, but then climbed to 23% in 2010, followed by home furnishings.
