Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c22374) has announced the addition of Canada E-Commerce Report to their offering

Attention: Online Marketers, Advertising Agencies, Retailers and Software, Hardware, Telecom and Internet Providers and Financial Analysts.
While Canada has the essential underpinnings of a strong e-commerce society — and Canadians go online in droves just as US users do — online purchasing remains minuscule.

Canada is a country one-ninth the size of the US, yet in 2005 Canadian consumers will spend only $4.6 billion online — less than one-thirtieth the amount spent by US consumers.

Find out why Canadian consumers are so reluctant to commit to online shopping, and what online retailers can do about it, read the new Canada E-Commerce report.

The Canada E-Commerce report explores the enigma of the North to answer the question of why Canadian consumers and companies are so reluctant to commit to online shopping.

We project that online buying in Canada will grow more than 20% a year over the next five years, but it is important to note that the growth comes at a low starting point—and is a slight downward revision from our estimates of a year ago.

Key questions the Canada E-Commerce report addresses:

- What is the market potential?
- What is holding Canada's online retail market back?

- What is the single most-important thing Canada's retail e-commerce sector must do?
- And much more…
