A survey conducted among over one thousand Australian consumers showed that roughly half of the respondents used smartphone for online purchases and payments in 2020. This reflected a noticeable decline in smartphone use for online shopping compared to the previous years. For three consecutive years, approximately three out of five respondents reportedly made online purchases via smartphone, reaching 66 percent in 2019.
