Retail trade; turnover, internet sales, index 2013=100, 2014 - Januari 2018

This table presents information about developments in retail turnover (SIC 2008 code 47). The data can be broken down by different types of shops: shops that predominantly sell goods online and those that predominantly sell goods through other sales channels (physical shops, markets, etc.). The results are expressed in terms of indices and year-on-year changes. The survey used to measure turnover change for online sales covers retail trade companies with 10 or more employees; these represent 65-70 percent of total online sales. Small businesses are not covered. The base year (2013) differs from other business statistics at the Statistics Netherlands, as data collection for this sector started in 2013. This should be taken into account when making comparisons to other StatLine tables. The statistics on online sales turnover are currently in an experimental phase. As a result, the methodology is still subject to revision.

Data available from January 2014 - Januari 2018.
