The growth of group buying sites has been phenomenal since Groupon exploded into the scene three years ago. Daily deal sites are now more focused by providing deals based on niche categories such as food and beverage based deals, adventure based deals or health and beauty focused deals.
The chart below presents a picture of how the industry has grown since 2008. Fueled by the economic climate of the times, everyone loves a deal.
We put together a list of group buying sites for your reference. This is by no means an exhaustive list because group buying sites pop up everyday or at least it seems like they do.
We compiled it just to give you an idea of the variety of group buying, coupon, daily deals and discount sites out there.
