This week we have seen a steady increase in the purchase of automotive spare parts and no slow down in the consumers desire to shop online.

In light of coronavirus, nearly one-quarter of shoppers are looking for contactless payments or delivery options, with 36% of shoppers saying they won’t return to brick-and-mortar stores until a vaccine is available, according to a recent survey of 3,558 consumers from Salesforce Research.

Sarah Davis, a Content Marketing Specialist from ROI revolution says ”the amount of consumers who are shopping online has been steadily increasing throughout the pandemic, with 44% of respondents conducting more of their shopping online – an increase from 42% two weeks earlier. Even after COVID-19 effects subside, 68% of U.S. shoppers expect to continue buying essential goods online. This is especially true for Gen Z and Millennials, 73% of whom fall into this category compared to 69% of Gen X and 57% of Baby Boomers.”

Online shopping is slightly more prevalent among high income households during the COVID-19 pandemic, with 71% saying they see more online shopping in their future and 65% of lower income households saying the same. Coronavirus is also expected to impact back-to-school and holiday shopping, with consumers across all income brackets saying they expect to spend less during these seasonal times than in 2019.

So, as the South African E-commerce market matures so does the demand for a large selection of quality DIY and Automotive products at affordable prices.
