AFTERPAY AfterPay Insights' research into consumers' recent e-commerce behavior now contains responses from more than 19.000 consumers in
THE NETHERLANDS (https://insights.afterpay.nl/the-netherlands/): From the second half of May to the first half of June the total number of e-commerce purchases declined with -12%, resulting in a total growth in purchases since the corona outbreak of +31%. The decline in the first half of June was mainly driven by reduced purchases in Food & Groceries (https://insights.afterpay.nl/food-and-grocery-e-commerce-booms-and-growth-is-driven-by-digital-savvy-consumers-necessities-rather-than-desires.html) (-19% compared to second half of May) as well as Take away food (-21%). The number of online purchases within Fashion were unaffected in the first half of June, and the only categories that grew were Gardening tools (+64%) and Travel & Transportation (+22%) but resulting in minimal impact on overall figures since each of these categories only comprise 1% of all e-commerce purchases in
GERMANY (https://insights.afterpay.nl/germany/): From the second half of May to the first half of June the total number of e-commerce purchases declined with -11%, resulting in a total growth in purchases since the corona outbreak of +21%. The decline in the first half of June was mainly driven by reduced purchases in Take away food (-44% compared to second half of May), and secondarily by Food & Groceries (https://insights.afterpay.nl/food-and-grocery-e-commerce-booms-and-growth-is-driven-by-digital-savvy-consumers-necessities-rather-than-desires.html) (-19%). Reduced purchases within Media/Entertainment (-17%) also contributed to the overall decline in e-commerce purchases. To the contrary of the overall development, purchases in Fashion grew significantly (+16%). Other substantial categories showing growth and reducing the overall decline were Toys (+26%) and Hobby articles (+10%).
NORWAY (https://insights.afterpay.nl/norway/): From the second half of May to the first half of June the total number of e-commerce purchases declined with -8%, resulting in a total growth in purchases since the corona outbreak of +13%. The decline in the first half of June was mainly driven by reduced purchases in Food & Groceries (https://insights.afterpay.nl/food-and-grocery-e-commerce-booms-and-growth-is-driven-by-digital-savvy-consumers-necessities-rather-than-desires.html) (-48% compared to second half of May), and secondarily by Fashion (-8%) and Hobby articles (-23%). Main categories showing growth and contributing to reduce the overall decline were Tickets (+64%) and Travel & Transportation (+46%), picking up a bit of the heavy reductions these have experienced during the course of the outbreak. But these categories still only operate at less than a third of the number of online purchases than they saw before the corona outbreak.
