FEVAD reveals a rising estimate for the 2010 e-commerce revenue in France

September 9 – French customers globally spent 14.5 billion euros during the first half of 2010 claims the Federation of e-commerce and remote sales (FEVAD). This amount represents a 19% year-to-year growth in electronic sales. (Source: La Tribune)

A similar jump is observed regarding the number of e-commerce sites which reached 70,200 against 54,200 in 2009. This growth is partly due to traditional brands arriving on the web by creating their own e-commerce site explains the FEVAD.

FEVAD mentions that the number of cyber-customers increased by 17% on the same period and the average sale by customer remains at 93 euros, as per the first quarter.

As a conclusion, FEVAD announces revenue above the first estimate for 2010: on-line sales should reach 32 billion euros instead of the 30 billion initially planned.
