There was also an increase in online shopping for various personal care and hygiene products during the pandemic, especially by senior citizens who were extremely vulnerable to the virus. Additionally, distribution companies experienced an overwhelming demand for last-mile and contactless package delivery, which has augmented them to build up new capacity. Furthermore, new crowd peer-to-peer platforms are rising, which is strengthening the growth of e-commerce distribution channels.

Besides this, the wide availability of a diverse range of products on e-commerce platforms to look and shop is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the growing expenditure on improving website features and making it user-friendly by various large-scale businesses is offering a favorable market outlook. Apart from this, the increasing focus of e-commerce brands to launch mobile applications instead of sticking to websites is contributing to the growth of the market.
