Online holiday shopping is expected to rise 18% this year, according to the 2016 Holiday Shopping Forecast (PDF) from Visa.
Nearly half (47%) of the consumers surveyed by Visa said they are planning to do more than half or all of their holiday shopping online, keeping with the trend of the last few years. These findings closely mirror previous results as 43% of shoppers actually did half or all of their shopping online in 2014, and 46% in 2015.
