ecommerce in 2020 reflects a notable increase in both the number of digital buyers and the average spending per buyer. These gains reflect the pandemic’s impact on new buyers joining the online retail space, includ- ing 12.2 percent growth for those ages 65 and older. • In a pandemic economy,consumers have gravitated toward trusted and reliable retailers.As a result, eMar- keter expects the top 10 ecommerce retail businesses to grow at above average rates (21.8 percent).Amazon will gain U.S. ecommerce market share this year,while Walmart’s accelerating ecommerce growth will take it to the No. 2 position for the first time. • Some of the extreme channel-shifting in Q2 2020 will subside over the course of the year as stores re- open and lockdowns end countrywide. However, cer- tain behaviors like click-and-collect and curbside pick- up will persist and suggest a long-term trajectory of ecommerce growth.
