The Covid-19 pandemic expanded the number of active e-commerce shoppers and accelerated the pace of online shopping.  It turned many consumers who seldom, or had never shopped online into frequent e-commerce shoppers.  The question that many have had is, what does the landscape of e-commerce look like as brick-and-mortar retail outlets continue to draw consumers back.  What is the future for E-commerce in 2022 and beyond?    

While consumers return to shopping in person and find their new normal, it is also clear that online shopping will continue to grow due to it being proven to be safe, convenient, and cost competitive.
