E-commerce price gains returned in August, led by the increasing costs of groceries and apparel. Shoppers have spent $580 billion online so far this year.
. In August, the cost of apparel rose 4.9% year over year and jumped 8.7% from July due to slowing seasonal promotions, according to the data. Still, the data showed that consumer demand remains resilient.
"Consumer demand for e-commerce also remains steady and will keep prices elevated, especially for growing categories such as groceries, pet products, and other consumer staples," said Brown.

Consumers collectively spent $64.6 billion online in August, a 6.5% increase compared with the same time last year.
