![Global B2C eCommerce Sales, 2013-2018 [CHART]](http://www.emarketer.com/images/chart_gifs/175001-176000/175322.gif "Chart - Global B2C eCommerce Sales")
Business-to-consumer (B2C) ecommerce sales worldwide will reach $1.471 trillion in 2014, according to new figures from eMarketer, increasing nearly 20% over 2013. As internet usage continues to mature across the world, ecommerce growth will slow over time, settling around 10% by the end of our forecast period. However, with sales reaching $2.356 trillion in 2018, a 10% growth rate still represents more than $200 billion new dollars that year.
eMarketer’s definition for B2C ecommerce sales includes all products and services ordered or booked via the internet on any device, including leisure and unmanaged business travel. Read the rest at eMarketer.
