Online shopping in the Middle East

New research on shopping habits shows that the number of people shopping online in the Middle East is increasing.
The research shows that this year about 7% more people are connecting to the internet on their smartphone or
computer to buy products than last year.
Many people use personal computers for online shopping, but the number of people using smartphones is also
increasing. Only 74% of shoppers used their mobile phone a year ago, but now 90% of people are using their mobile
phone to buy things online.
The reasons for this are that more and more people are getting internet connections and becoming interested in
shopping online because it is quick, easy and safe. People can also spend time looking for a better price online and
take more time to decide what they want to buy. Some of the most popular products that people are buying online are
airline tickets, books and clothing.
