The trend shows that the e-commerce growth rate is about twice the growth rate of retail sales. Even during the recession in 2008/2009, e-commerce sales had a growth rate above that of retail. This could be caused by the convenience of e-commerce that allows people to shop from home and compare prices without having to drive to several different stores.
