We must admit that the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the economic landscape in many different ways. The organizations that ignored the online world found that no escape from prioritizing their online presence. It would have been wise to cope with the case to maintain brand awareness amid the sudden surge in competition. As a result of COVID-19, the future of e-commerce will be crowded with new and unique opportunities, threats, and challenges. It has greatly impacted the global economy.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the first thing we must think of, the consumer behavior towards online shopping, and how they accepted it. COVID-19 has forced customers to change the way they preferred for shopping. There is an increasing shift in consumer buying behavior from traditional shopping to online shopping.<\/span><\/p>\n

The National Retail Federation (NRF) surveyed the online shopping behavior of consumers in this pandemic situation and looked at some of the consumer buying behavior changes as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. According to the survey, 9 out of 10 customers have changed their shopping habits to online shopping.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The results were supportive with over 50% of customers changing their traditional shopping habits by ordering products online.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. About 6 in 10 customers stated that they avoid going to the store due to fear of infection and have ordered necessary goods from Internet Marketing Tools.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All these behavioral changes are not permanent, but few will last permanently. For society to recover with this survival mechanism, this digital online shopping adoption is likely to become permanent. So, in the end, this pandemic situation has been classified into two aspects: one is a shift in customer behavior that avoids public crowded gatherings, and the second is more movement towards digital adoption.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The future of eCommerce is challenging and holds more unique opportunities and threats. As the industry was just a baby nearly a decade ago. Suddenly, its 10-year growth is an exceptional growth that happened in the first quarter of 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n
