The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been varied across industries, but the way it has shaken up the retail industry draws few parallels. Lockdowns and movement restrictions brought business in physical stores to a trickle and led to changes in buying patterns and consumer preferences almost overnight. Retailers that relied primarily on in-store experiences have now re-defined their strategy to focus more on digital commerce.
Digital commerce, has however, seen only growth! Online shopping has boomed, with strict lockdowns and consumers choosing to remain indoors for safety reasons. FTI Consulting expects online retail sales to increase by 25 percent this year, nearly double of its previous estimate. It expects online retail sales to reach $748 billion in 2020, compared to $598 billion last year.
