Spoiler alert: 2016 was another solid year for growth in online home textiles sales. Sales of home textiles for the Top 25 Online Retailers climbed 13.1% to $3.72 billion from $3.29 billion in 2015. It’s not the insane type of explosive growth that characterized early years in e-commerce expansion. For many, the growth was modest. The Top 25’s share of last year’s $28.1 billion in total home textiles sales – online and off-line – was 13% compared to 12% in 2015.
