Statista trend report on the impact of the coronavirus on shopping behavior worldwide
When the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic first began in early 2020, there was no way of knowing how large of an impact the outbreak would have on the world. Social distancing and the various restrictions caused a lot of people to change their behavior, including people's shopping habits and attitudes.
Due to lockdowns and limited access to many kinds of stores, consumers around the world had been shopping less overall, causing a decrease in sales in many industries. Shoppers were incentivized to try new shopping methods and a large share of people started making a habit of shopping online due to the stay-at-home circumstances.
This report takes an in-depth look at global shopping behavior changes during the COVID-19 crisis in 2020 and 2021 and has a strong focus on the United States and Europe. The first chapter covers financial figures from the retail landscape worldwide. Chapter two and three explore shopping behavior and digital shopping attitudes, respectively. Last, but not least, chapter four provides an outlook on how the events that occurred during the pandemic may still have an influence on shoppers for years to come.
We provide information on industries, companies, consumers, trends, countries, and politics, covering the latest and most important issues in a condensed format.
