Well consumption will definitely evolve as a result of the inactivities caused by the lockdown. I was even thinking of ordering for a phone, so I think it's rather surprising looking at those stats
Indeed, but I believe this switch especially for 45-50 + years old might stay even after the lockdowns ease.
My grandpa is ordering groceries online now... Who would have thought. And he actually prefers this to my aunt going to get him stuff haha.
What's your thoughts on this?
You're definitely right, people might still get used to ordering things online even after the lockdown really, that's because they'll just find out that even doing these things online seems more easier. Yeah many will stick to it.
Not all but some hehe 😉. It definitely made me change some habits
