Almost two million New Zealanders are expected to use the internet for shopping this year, with a total of $3.19 billion likely to be spent online.

Internet shopping has grown by 19 per cent in the past year and a new transtasman survey has predicted that figure will continue to grow by more than 14 per cent annually over the next four years.

By the end of 2012, online shopping in New Zealand is predicted to reach $3.19 billion and to grow to $5.37 billion by 2016.
