Impact of Covid 19 on E-Commerce

Abstract

COVID-19 has affected nearly every aspect of society—our lives, jobs and enterprises. In
the past, COVID-19 created surpluses of goods, increased demand for previously
unnecessary products and interrupted supply chains, as well as dominant consumer and
purchasing decisions. Such changes in consumer behaviour, economic uncertainty and a
demand for new COVID 19 products create an environment ideal both for authorised and
unauthorised opportunistic distributors who divert real goods via unauthorised distribution
channels.
