The survey details the mobile shopping trends according to time of year, day of the week and geographical location, and highlight the main sites and advertisers to the platform during the end of the year.
“The mobile commerce became a major force in global markets. And with the year-end shopping season approaching, we see an acceleration of purchases via mobile devices, “said Larry Moores, Vice President for Consumer Reports and Analytical Opera Mobile Software.
” In Latin America, we see ample opportunities for e-commerce sites and online classified invest increasingly in the mobile environment. After all, consumption from mobile phones and tablets is increasing considerably. In Brazil, for example, three of the 15 most visited sites through Opera Mini belong to these categories, “Sabrina Zaremba, Opera Software Manager for Latin America. The ranking of the main Brazilian websites follows this order:. UOL, Globe, Tim App Shop, April, Firefly, Letters, Free Market, OLX, IG, Baixaki, TechTudo, Good Business, Softonic and Click RBS
This scenario reinforces the mobile growth in the online segment, and only during the first half of the year, this mode accounted for 7% of all e-commerce transactions, according to the e-Bit data.
Mobile Buyers are more active on Sundays
Unlike the traffic to e-commerce sites from desktops, peaking on Mondays and following stronger in the days of week than on weekends, the mobile shopping traffic focuses strongly on Sundays. One possible explanation is that many consumers use their mobile devices to research products during the weekend, to revisit and complete the purchase when they return to their desks on Monday. The day less online traffic is Friday.
June has the highest overall volume of traffic to mobile shopping sites
The Christmas season is the busiest time for purchases in the United States, Europe and Latin America. Between November and February, the United States recorded a growth rate over 15% higher than the average monthly volume of purchases. Germany also has significant increases in the number of buyers in November and December, 28% more in relation to its annual average. In Asia, however, the volume peak month is March, followed closely by July. This is due in large part to the start of Ramadan, between late June and July this year.
Looking at the data globally, the month with the highest mobile traffic is June. February has already increased mobile traffic especially for those eager buyers (whose mobile behavior indicates they have a strong interest in buying).

On a global scale the Amazon is the leader, but there are some beginners who have taken strong leadership positions in Asia, as Flipkart in India and Berniaga in Indonesia. In Latin America, MercadoLibre emerges as one of the leading mobile shopping destinations.
