The survey reveals that a significant percentage of business executives from Europe under 30 years of age and between 30 and 60 years, acknowledged that they shop online, compared to business executives 60 or above. Whereas, according to North American business executives, regardless of gender, 'online retailing,' 'department stores,' and 'drug stores and health and beauty stores' are identified as the leading retail channels.

Furthermore, product categories such as 'electrical and electronics,' 'sports and leisure,' and 'music, video and entertainment' are purchased online 'every few months,' as identified by 57%, 44%, and 42% of Asia-Pacific business executives respectively. In addition, product categories such as 'electrical and electronics,' 'home and garden products' and 'sports and leisure' are purchased online 'every few months' as identified by 68%, 52% and 50% of business executives from Europe respectively.
