According to Forrester http://blogs.forrester.com/ebusiness_strategy/2009/11/this-year-us-online-holiday-retail-sales-will-be-up-8.html, it is estimated that online retail sales will reach $44.7 billion this holiday season.  That is an 8% increase year over year.  The contributing factor is the increase in buyers doing more of their shopping online, as well as retailers focusing a larger portion of their marketing dollars on internet sales.
