“Our data shows that brands that have been able to pivot away from physical stores and double down on digital channels to find significant growth amid the Covid-19 outbreak,” Tommy Kelly, CEO of eShopWorld, said in a press release.
In June so far, cross-border apparel and footwear sales have seen significant growth, and our May overall sales volumes were above those seen during the peak pre-holiday Black Friday period. We expect this strong growth to continue as consumers around the world keep shopping from home due to concerns about the ongoing pandemic.”
