Study Finds Decline in Web Shopping he percentage of people with Internet access who are making purchases from Web sites declined slightly in the second quarter of 1999 after four sequential quarters of spectacular growth, according to Greenfield Online Inc. The study by Greenfield, a Westport, Conn., Internet marketing research firm, hints at the limits of market penetration of the medium as a shopping platform -- suggesting a ceiling that has been unknown until now. "This is the first indication of the size of the population that will use the Internet to shop," Rudy Nadilo, Greenfield's president and chief executive, said. Mushrooming e-commerce sales -- and visions of geometric growth into the future -- have fueled the recent boom of Internet stock valuations. Greenfield's study does not necessarily indicate that sales on the World Wide Web have stalled, since the total number of people with Web access continues to grow rapidly. And the finding that 71 percent of people online bought at least once in the last three months is respectable, even if it stays at that level. From the first quarter of 1998 to the first quarter of this year, the percentage of people with online access who said they had bought something through a Web site rose to 74 percent from 47 percent, Greenfield said. But in the latest quarter, Greenfield found that the percentage had slipped to 71 percent. The findings were based on 2,598 respondents selected randomly from Greenfield's national pool of more than 1 million individuals who have volunteered to participate in online research. nytimes.com
