The percentage of older people ordering items from the web shot up to 54% over the past year, which the Office For National Statistics (ONS) said was the first time it had gone above 50%.
Across all adults, more than four in five (82%) bought goods or services online, up 5% on the previous 12 months, with many spending hundreds of pounds across the year.
Some 44% have spent between £100 and £499 in the last three months, with 15% spending more than £1,000.
The most popular items remained clothes and sportswear, bought by 60% of online shoppers, followed by household products at 49% and event tickets at 44%.
More women bought clothes and sportswear than men, at 64% compared to 56%, with men spending more money on electronic equipment (42% to 26%) and entertainment products like video games (34% to 17%).
The growth in online shopping reflects an increase in the number of UK adults using the internet - and how regularly people are logging on.
