Online Small Electrical Appliance Sales in the US industry analysis

The Online Small Electrical Appliance Sales industry is proliferating as more time-strapped and price-sensitive consumers are attracted to the convenience of finding, comparing and purchasing products online.

As online platforms offer competitive pricing and a wide range of options, they have attracted more customers seeking cost-effective shopping experiences. As a result, industry revenue is expected to grow at an annualized rate of 8.0% to $13.0 billion over the five years to 2025.
