The click-and-collect economy worth more than £1bn in Wales

The click-and-collect economy in Wales is estimated to be worth £1.4bn this year, accounting for 31% of retail income. That's according to a new report from Barclays Corporate Banking.

The report found that click-and-collect shopping now supports 6,900 jobs across the industry in Wales - equating to almost half of the region's retail workforce.

The report found that the popularity of the service grew during the pandemic, but - unlike pure online sales which peaked during that period - it has continued to grow after the lifting of lockdown restrictions.
