![Global B2C eCommerce Sales Share By Region, 2013-2018 [TABLE]](http://www.emarketer.com/images/chart_gifs/175001-176000/175334.gif "Table - Global B2C eCommerce Sales Share By Region")
eMarketer now expects Asia-Pacific to become the leading region for ecommerce sales in 2015, representing 33.4% of the total, compared with 31.7% in North America and 24.6% Western Europe. These three regions combined will continue to take around 90% of the global ecommerce market throughout our forecast period.
The increase of ecommerce sales in Asia-Pacific is tied to a growing base of digital buyers, and as more new buyers come online, naturally sales will rise. However, by the end of our forecast period, nearly 70% of internet users in both Western Europe and North America will purchase items on digital devices, vs. just over 50% in Asia-Pacific.
