49% of eCommerce Purchases for Fashion & Lifestyle Happen on Mobile, According to the Unbxd ‘State of Mobile Product Discovery 2017’ Report
E-commerce search and personalization prove to be valuable for better product discovery
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., OCTOBER 24, 2017 – Unbxd released the 2017 edition of the ‘State of Mobile Product Discovery 2017’ report, earlier today. The report is based on data gathered from 60 million sessions of US shoppers on the Unbxd Product Discovery Platform. The annually published report provides insights on key metrics on mobile product discovery, the role of search, and personalization on mobile. The State of Mobile Product Discovery 2017 Report is available for download on the Unbxd website. The proliferation of mobile — a whopping 220 Million consumers in the US own smartphones — has made it imperative for brands to be mobile-friendly if not mobile-first. Mobile ecommerce traffic overtook desktop a few years ago, but mobile has had a relatively low share of sales. In 2017, data shows that the Fashion & Lifestyle vertical has broken out, with more shoppers purchasing on mobile than desktop. Overall mobile conversion rates, however, dropped 7% after reaching a peak in 2016.
