UK e-commerce sales data released in May


Recently, Adobe released the UK Digital Economy Index data for May. According to the data, in May 2023, the total online shopping expenditure of British consumers was 7.8 billion pounds, down 2.5% month-on-month and 1.3% year-on-year. Adobe said that the data in May showed early signs of the recovery of consumer confidence and online spending power. 


As prices rise, a growing number of UK customers are using buy-first-pay-later (BNPL) services to help cope with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. Meanwhile, Adobe's analysis found a significant increase in e-commerce traffic from TikTok content, up 378 percent since January 2022. While TikTok's overall access share is relatively small, it is growing at an alarming rate, with a year-on-year increase of 164 percent in May.
