eCommerce is one of the few industries that was not affected by the breakout of Covid-19. In fact, it grew significantly during these challenging times.
In the US alone, there was a 32.4% increase in eCommerce sales compared to 2019. This boost in demand for online services came as a result of more than 47,000 chain stores closing their doors.
This has kickstarted an irreversible growth trend: by 2023, eCommerce will account for 22% of all retail sales. It is a time of great opportunities - but also a time of growing competition.
Hence, the numerous eCommerce events set for 2021 and 2022 aimed to help companies stay afloat despite the global pandemic.
