After the coronavirus pandemic pushed consumers to shop more online, e-commerce sales have continued to grow in recent years. A March 2021 Adobe report found that the shoppers spent a total of $844 billion since March 2020. It also predicted that e-commerce spending would reach $1 trillion last year.
Comscore’s findings exceeded a prediction from FTI Consulting. Last July, FTI Consulting forecast that e-commerce retail sales would reach $1.07 trillion last year, just shy of Comscore’s $1.09 trillion calculation. The firm previously projected that online retail sales wouldn’t attain that milestone until 2025.
