Now a days shopping online has become very convenient and anyone can purchase an item using their tablets or smartphones.  This innovation in technology pushed the growth of the e-commerce industry for the recent years.

Amazon, the largest e-commerce company and most the successful, said nearly 70 percent of its customers this holiday used a mobile device to shop. Worldwide, on Cyber Monday alone, those customers ordered more than 35 electronic items per second and Adele's new CD, "25," every 3 seconds.

Amazon Prime gained 3 million new members in the third week of December alone. Meanwhile, the number of Prime members shopping via mobile more than doubled this holiday season, Amazon said Monday.  The company also said it shipped a record number of items worldwide for the holidays, with items going to 185 countries.

Amazon's report issued on Monday covers only trends and percentage changes in its shipments and not the sales figures or the number of items it shipped.
