Germany: changed shopping habits due to COVID-19 2021

When asked in what ways their shopping behavior had changed during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in 2021, about six in ten consumers in Germany said it had. That year, roughly half of the survey respondents, who said their consumer behavior had changed, specifically indicated that they had started shopping online more, except for groceries. A considerable share of German consumers also reduced their spending or started investing heavily in their homes. Just shy of 40 percent of respondents stated that the crisis did not affect their shopping habits.
