  • The estimate for U.S. retail ecommerce sales for the first quarter of 2022, adjusted for seasonal variation, but not for price changes, was $250 billion, an increase of 2.4 percent (±0.7%) from the fourth quarter of 2021.
  • The first quarter 2022 ecommerce estimate increased 6.6 percent (±1.1%) from the first quarter of 2021 while total retail sales increased 10.9 percent (±0.4%) in the same period.
  • Ecommerce sales in the first quarter of 2022 accounted for 14.3 percent of total retail sales.
