This table provides information about the turnover development of internet sales by the retail sector (SBI 2008 section 47). The data can be divided into different groups of stores: the stores that mainly trade online and those that mainly trade via other sales channels (physical store, market, etc.). The development is shown using indices and as a percentage change compared to the same period in the previous year. The measured turnover development from internet sales relates to medium-sized and large-sized retail companies (companies with 10 or more employees). These companies represent approximately 65-70 percent of online retail sales. Small businesses are not included in the survey. The base year (2013) differs from other CBS publications, because the data is only requested from 2013 onwards. This should be taken into account when comparing with data from other tables. The turnover development statistics from internet sales are in an experimental phase. It is possible that the methodology will be revised in the meantime. This should be taken into account when using these figures. Data available from January 2014 to January 2018. Status of the figures: The figures for 2018 are provisional, those for the other periods are final. Changes as of June 13, 2018: None, the table has been discontinued. When will new numbers come out? Not applicable anymore. This table will be discontinued on 13 June 2018 as a result of the five-year base shift and will be replaced by a new table. For more information about the base shift, see section 3.
