Why More People Are Shopping Online (and Why It Just Makes Sense)

Online shopping isn’t a future trend — it’s already how most people shop today.
Across New Zealand and Australia, buying online has become the preferred option for busy households, working professionals, and families who want convenience without compromise. In fact, 77% of New Zealanders and 83% of Australians shop online every month, and the number one reason they give is simple: it saves time.
Convenience Is King
Modern shopping habits are driven by convenience. People want to:
-
Avoid sitting in traffic
-
Skip queues and crowded shops
-
Shop when it suits them — day or night
-
Have purchases delivered straight to their door
Research shows that more than two-thirds of shoppers say online shopping is easier and faster than shopping in-store. When life is busy, that matters.
