Internet sales of all consumer products from all retail types of outlets, whether brick and mortar or e-commerce companies, are estimated to have reached $437.5 billion in 2017, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the proprietary market model from Impact Consulting, parent company of Home Furnishings Business.
