Increased use of in-store retail channels, rising inflation, and supply chain crises are slowing down e-commerce growth. Several companies operating in this sector have had to downsize and have announced layoffs throughout 2023. The biggest of these, Amazon, laid off 9,000 employees in March 2023 and 8,000 two months earlier, representing the largest layoff together with Shopify, which laid off 2,300 employees in May 2023.
