New research by Barclays has predicted that Scottish consumers will spend £2.4billion each year via mobile devices by 2019, making a rise of 224% in 5 years. The same study also found that many retailers aren’t jumping on the growth in mobile shopping and taking advantage. 45% of Scotts use mobile to brows and buy products, with clothing the most commonly bought. Barclays’ Euan Murray commented “Consumers are increasingly time poor and looking to multi-task wherever possible — mobile shopping gives them the freedom to do this when they want and where they want.”
