There are five new mobile shopping trends eCommercemarketers need to consider:
•Mobile is now about purchasing, not just researching: Conversion rates are high, across all devices and retail categories.
•Think smartphones:smartphones now generate more transactions than tablets.
•Yes, you will buy a designer handbag from your phone:a third of fashion transactions now come from mobile, with average order values close to desktop levels.
•Top quartile US retailers generate almost 40% of their ecommerce transactions from mobile, against 27% for US overall.
•It’s not just Apple:Android phones now generate a third of US smartphone shopping transactions, and much more internationally.

Mobile conversion rates are high
US, Q4 2014
Conversion Rate = (No. of Sales) / (No. of *Users)
* Users include those with more than a single **event on the websites
** Each time a visitor sees a web page, adds a product to the basket, or makes an online payment, etc., it is counted as an event.
Mobile Overall
•Overall, mobile users look at more products than desktop users before they purchase. As a result, mobile accounts for 27% of all eCommercetransactions in the US, but mobile traffic share is much higher at 38%.
•Tablet converts better than smartphone today. This partly reflects larger screensizes, but also weaknesses in smartphone-specific site optimization.
•Apple and Android devices have very similar conversion rates.

• Mobile conversion rates in Japan are much
higher than the US. This partly reflects a market
where advertisers have been delivering
transactional mobile websites for longer.
• The improving quality of mobile websites,
greater usage of larger screen smartphones,
and improvements in mobile payment methods
are likely to boost conversion rates across
Western markets.
• If US conversion rates matched Japan, then
mobile commerce would deliver almost half of
all US ecommerce.

Android Share of Smartphone Transactions
• Given South Korea is Samsung’s
home base, it might not be surprising
that Android is responsible for 86% of
retail sales on smartphones.
• Share of eCommerce transactions
from Android is now higher than
iPhone in many countries including
Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil and
South Korea. This is likely to mean
greater focus on Android app
development in these markets.
• Apple is especially strong in the US,
UK and Japan.

The future
We see five big trends for 2015:
•Growth in mobile commerce is unstoppable. Asia will soon pass 50% of online transactions via mobile devices, while Western markets will catch up.
•Smartphones will continue to displace slower-growing tablets. Larger form factor phones are an added accelerant to an existing trend towards greater use of smartphones for shopping.
•Advertisers will focus heavily on improving their mobile websites. This will lead to dramatic improvements in conversion rates, especially as mobile payments become more seamless.
•Apple and Android continue to battle it out but both are winners. Total percentage of ecommerce generated by both will grow at the expense of Microsoft Windows.
•Understanding cross-device behavior will be the biggest challenge and opportunityfor marketers in 2015, as a majority of users going through their buying journey interact with the same site through multiple devices.
