E-commerce total turnover by segments:

•  double e-commerce increase on the 30th of January comparing to the 29th of January ( a day prior to sales period), in 2016  e-commerce sales to increase by twice,  despite the expected triple growth due to 2017  forecast ;
• On the 31st of January e-commerce showed 1,6X  decreased growth rates comparing to the 29th of January ( a day after peak sales),  e-commerce sales declined by 1,5X in 2016

• on-line shops for kids

Highest-rated in 2016:

• shoes & clothing on-line shops
