Financial services company Deloitte has compiled a list of the top 50 global e-retailers indicating an average growth of 29% in 2012.<\/p>\n

The Deloitte 2014 Global Powers of Retailing report ranks retailers, both brick and mortar and online, by tracking fiscal years from 2012 through June 2013.<\/p>\n

Looking specifically at e-retailers, Deloitte\u00a0noted that 42 of the top performing e-50\u00a0companies are multi-channel retailers, with only 8 being non-store or web-only.<\/p>\n

Deloitte pointed out that e-commerce accounted for a significant share of total retail revenue – nearly a third of\u00a0company\u00a0sales, on average.<\/p>\n

However, e-commerce was typically a small slice of the big mass merchants and food retailers’ revenue, often at just 1-2%.<\/p>\n

It accounted for 5-15% of sales for some of the big department store and\u00a0specialty\u00a0apparel retailers, and reached as high as 20% for consumer electronic retailers.<\/p>\n

Most are based in the US (28), followed by Europe (17), with only five in emerging markets (3 in China, 2 in Brazil).<\/p>\n
