In a survey conducted on April 13 and April 14, 2020, regarding availability of essential goods on e-commerce apps, 79 percent of the respondents stated that they were unable to find essential goods on e-commerce apps from March 23 to 24, 2020 in India. This share reduced to 43 percent less than a month later in April 2020. The lockdown due to COVID-19 led to a sharp spike in demand on e-commerce apps during March and April, with e-commerce companies slowly making essential goods available for the consumers.
