The two charts illustrate the online shopping sales for 4 retail categories in Canada between 2024 and 2026.
Overall, the largest percentage of those retail sectors is electronics & appliance in 2024, while it is food & beverage in 2026.
In 2024, the electronics & appliance sector accounts for 35%, followed by home furnishings at a quarter for second place. Also, the percentage of food & beverage is just above 20%, and the number of video games is around half of electronics & appliance, at 18%.
In 2026, the proportion of food & beverage and video games increased to 32% and 23%, respectively. However, electronics & appliance decreased by 5% over the 2 years. In addition, the ratio of this to home furnishings is 30% to 15%, so the figure for electronics & appliance is twice as much as that of home furnishings. The percentage of home furnishings is the lowest in 2026.
