Development of e-commerce shares pre and post COVID-19 2020-2021, by country

Published by Tugba Sabanoglu, Jun 8, 2021
During the peak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis (March-April 2020) when many countries worldwide introduced lockdown measures, e-commerce share in total retail sales saw proportions that were not seen before. In the United Kingdom, where an already mature e-commerce market exists, e-commerce share saw as high as 31.3 percent, before stabilizing in the subsequent periods. In the most current period (as of January 31, 2021), United Kingdom, United States and Canada were the leading countries where e-commerce had a higher share as a proportion of total retail, at 24, 17, and 15 percent, respectively.
