This is a good example of the impact of Covid-19 economic lockdowns on technology adoption in general, which is that the economic lockdowns and work-from-home policies pushed any number of existing trends to a sharply-higher level.
This data shows e-commerce share of total retail sales, excluding autos, fuel, restaurant activity, got a sharp bump because of the pandemic, presumably shifting the curve upwards, but possibly not altering the long-term growth rate.
This illustrates what is meant when observers say “we saw a year’s worth of growth in a few months.”
What is not clear is whether the underlying long term rate of growth has been altered, or not.
