Older Australians are more likely to purchase from Australian online retailers
)
A recent survey by MasterCard Worldwide has identified that the older generations of Australians are purchasing from onshore Internet retailers much more than the younger generations. The report shows that 50-64 year olds purchase from an Australian online retailer 71% of the time, whereas those between the ages of 18 and 24 only do so around 42% of the time.
The most prolific online shoppers, according to the survey, are those between 45-49, and 50-64 years of age. This indicates that not only are the baby boomers and older generations getting more active with online shopping, but they are doing it in a way that supports the local Australian retail industry.
