More people buying electrical goods online than they do clothing; grocery stores still the place to shop

LONDON (13 July, 2023) – Almost seven in 10 people (69%) in the UK mainly still shop in-store for groceries, while only 19% do their grocery shop online, according to new data commissioned by Elavon Merchant Services, a leading global payments provider.

The data also reveals about the same percentage of people (68%) also mainly buy their household products in-store, while almost half the population get their beauty products, and furniture and home decorations mainly in-store.

Conversely, half of those in the UK (50%) mainly shop online for electrical goods and gadgets, while a third of people (33%) shop for those products wherever is convenient, and just a fifth (20%) buy these mainly in-store.

“Elavon’s data shows that finding the balance between online and offline shopping is a must for merchants,” says Hemlata Narasimhan, Elavon Merchant Services President in Europe.

“It’s essential for merchants to understand how their customers want to shop and pay, and to meet those needs. That’s where Elavon can help – with online, in-store, or both.”

1103 people in the UK were asked in an online survey “Which of the following best describes the way you regularly shop for the following items for different items over the last 12 months.” Research commissioned by Elavon, undertaken by Yonder Consulting between 8-14 March 2023.
