Pattern study suggests brand leaders will increase ecommerce investment despite economic uncertainty

• 94% of executives plan to maintain or increase their investment in ecommerce over the next 6-12 months.
• Brand leaders are cautious but undeterred as they push to uncover opportunities for growth.

SALT LAKE CITY – July 10, 2024 – Pattern—the global leader for ecommerce acceleration—today published its first Ecommerce Executive Strategy Snapshot: an analysis of the most common growth challenges facing brand leaders and where they plan to invest in the near future.

Among the major findings, the survey revealed executives plan to increase their financial investment in ecommerce by an average of 16% over the next 6-12 months, with 25% of brand leaders reporting a planned increase of 31-98%. Just 6% of executives surveyed plan to decrease their overall financial investment during the same period.

To compile the analysis, Pattern conducted an in-depth survey of 300+ founders and ecommerce executives based in North America across dozens of product categories—including Beauty & Personal Care, Sports & Outdoors, Home & Kitchen, Tools & Home Improvement, and more.

The findings are available on Pattern.com and shed light on a number of questions facing ecommerce executives.

Many executives are turning to outside partners to overcome these barriers. In the analysis, executives that are working with an ecommerce accelerator to sell on marketplaces were twice as likely to report that they have no major impediments to their growth at this time.
