More and more people are using their mobile devices to buy on-line in The Netherlands. Thuiswinkel.org, the Dutch branch association for businesses that sell products and services to consumers via the internet, made this announcement today on nu.nl. More than one and a half million people in The Netherlands have bought something on the internet in the first half year of 2012 by using their mobile devices. Compared to last year, the figure doubled.
A large part of these purchases, more than 40% consists of software like apps for mobile devices. Thuiswinkel.org thinks that mobile purchases will increase because more and more people are prepared to buy tablets, smartphones and apps for their devices. But also clothes, books and other stuff are purchased more through mobile devices in the first half year of 2012, compared to last year.
