As an international logistics service provider with a significant commitment to eCommerce logistics, U-Freight notes that more than a third of businesses believe that the move to online shopping seen during the Covid-19 pandemic is now a permanent shift, according to new research from international supply chain and logistics consultancy SCALA.
From surveying business leaders across the grocery and homeware industries, 36% of companies believe that eCommerce will now remain at the inflated levels seen during the Covid-19 pandemic, wherein enforced social distancing restrictions prompted a surge in eCommerce activity.
Notably, the majority of businesses also reported a belief that eCommerce levels will increase further still over the coming months, with more than two-thirds (67%) of grocery businesses, and 89% of non-grocery businesses predicting that more growth is yet to come.
