Why this list?
We created this list because we needed some abandonment statistics ourselves for the introduction chapter to our E-Commerce Checkout Usability 2011 study.
When searching for these statistics we found a myriad of articles citing the same sources, as well as large fluctuations in the actual abandonment rates. So to save you the hassle we decided to gather all statistics in one place.
We've also calculated an average so it's easy to cite just one number instead of 14 different ones.
