With the rise of ecommerce, it’s only natural that the number of online shoppers worldwide rises along with it. In 2020, the number of digital buyers is expected to be 2.05 billion. That makes 26.28% of the 7.8 billion people in the world. In other words, one out of every four people you see around you is an online shopper.

The number of online shoppers is expected to continue on its growth path and hit 2.14 billion by 2021. With an expected world population of 8 billion, that means 26.8 percent of the global population will be digital buyers – a .52 percentage point increase from 2020.
