Ecommerce Market Commentary for April 2023

Ecommerce Data for April 2023

April 2023 Ecommerce sales decreased by 0.69% YOY the month started off positively with the first two weeks off the month showing positive growth of over 20%. This plateaued and then tailed off towards the end of the month, however some industries are continuing to grow, it shows there are opportunities out there. Rising interest rates and the impact of global inflation are continuing to take a toll on consumer sentiment. Return Rates are continuing to be a major factor for ecommerce businesses.

Ecommerce Gross Profits increasing & Ecommerce costs of Sales rising in April 2023

CPA% & COS (the percentage cost paid directly to marketing channels) was 8.58%, this is nearly a 0.25% drop in spend compared to April 2022. This CPA% is nearly 20% higher than March 2023 showing that acquiring customers profitability is still a challenge.

April 2023 average ecommerce conversion rates increases slightly YOY from 1.79% to 1.82%.

Sales through mobile channels continue to increase as a percentage of revenue share to 55.2%, but this varies by market and customer segmentation. This is the first month in a while that mobile revenue has been under 60%.

The average ecommerce order value was £106.91 - which is 14.72% up on April 2022.

IRP's 2023 prediction is a fairly positive outlook for the year ahead for the majority of markets, there are plenty of merchants continuing to grow revenue by increasing customer return rate and acquiring new customers at the right cost.

We are watching the markets as we move through May to see how this is going to impact the longer term of ecommerce.

IRP Definitions & Calculations

All figures shown include VAT (Tax). Growth figures, if positive, are coloured green; if negative they are coloured red.

For consistency, this convention applies also to Cost Per Acquisition figures. Growth figures are calculated using the formula: (Difference between Most Recent Month & Earlier Month / Earlier Month) * 100. The formulae are applied to the underlying data and then rounded off; thus re-applying the formulae to the rounded off figures may produce very slightly different figures.

Sales Forecasts
These are based on machine learning to calculate what the Growth YOY is for the current month and year. These are updated every 30 minutes based on Live IRP Market Data.

Sales Growth
This is the percentage difference (positive or negative) between the Total Revenue (£) for the selected months. Monthly monetary values are not shown.

Cost Per Acquisition
This indicates how much it costs in terms of marketing spend to acquire sales, expressed as a percentage. For each month, the CPA% is calculated using the formula: Total Marketing Cost / Total Revenue (£) * 100. It can be thought of as the ecommerce cost of sale.

Conversion Rate
The Conversion Rate is the number of buyers by session - and is calculated using the formula: Total Transactions / Total Sessions * 100. Note that sessions are used in this calculation and not visitors. So if a visitor comes back 3 times it is 3 sessions - this lowers conversion rate but is the most consistent measurement to use.

Average Order Value
This is defined as the average monetary value of all orders in a single month. For each month, the AOV is calculated using the formula: Total Revenue (£) / Number of Orders.

Average Sale Price of Item
This is defined as the average price that products are sold for within a particular market or across all markets. For each month, the Average Sale Price is calculated using the formula: Total Revenue (£) / Number of Units Sold.

Traffic Channels
The pie chart shows the percentage contribution made by individual traffic channels to overall sales. The figures are calculated using the formula: Revenue from Traffic Channel (£) / Total Revenue (£) * 100.
