A decade later and apparel is now one of the most bought categories online with some pure play apparel retailers producing double digit growth year-on-year. • As part of Planet Retail’s shopper research, we surveyed almost 15,000 shoppers in 10 key e-commerce markets to not only find out about levels of spend on apparel online but to get a clear understanding of what the barriers to buying apparel online are, how these barriers can be overcome and what influences purchasing decisions and encourages spend online. • In the US, we surveyed 1,457 shoppers who shopped online over sixmonths in 2012. Out of these, 1,105 had shopped apparel at least once online over this period. How do shoppers buy apparel and where will they shop in the future? What are consumer views on buying apparel online and what are they buying? How are retailers responding to key influencers on apparel shopping behaviour?
