The COVID pandemic has dramatically shifted the trajectory of e-commerce in 2020. Traditional retail sales have declined whilst e-commerce has seen a 129% year on year growth in North America alone as of April. Most brick and mortar stores have taken their businesses online to try and survive the pandemic. As a result, U.S. e-commerce sales are projected to hit the $700 billion mark in 2020 up from $601.65 billion, which is about 11% of total retail sales, since 2019. This is the biggest jump in the e-commerce share of retail sales ever! No retailor can hide from these glaring facts.
Across the world, people have shifted buying habits and the imposed lockdowns have even hit boomers by forcing them to shop online. COVID has accelerated growth in the e-commerce industry and more businesses will be joining the e-commerce business revolution than ever before. Early adopters that previously embraced the e-commerce trend are already experiencing expansion, in the midst of retail shrinking. Global e-commerce sales are expected to reach $4 trillion by the end of 2020.
But, simply creating a website and selling your products isn’t as easy as it looks. Customers won’t just magically visit your site. The cash won’t just flow in once you go online. The competition is stiff online and online shopping behaviors are a moving target as they are changing faster than ever before. A lot goes into a successful e-commerce business, and we at BigCommerce have assembled industry experts who will make navigating the e-commerce market more clearly. The changing economy calls for keeping up with emerging trends to cut through the noise, get noticed, and attract your target customers. Here are three trends experts are paying attention to.
