Mobile commerce: converting browsing into buying

Although mobile has become the dominant platform for digital commerce around the world, consumer purchasing habits and rates vary significantly.

In Europe, meanwhile, a range of factors contribute to a relative weakness in purchase conversion rates, including security perceptions, demographics and Amazon’s reach.
