8. Future Oriented Trends
8.1 Online Retail Sales
Online retail has gained in popularity across Australia since the onset of the global COVID-19
pandemic, with sales in the year to March 2021 up 64% from the same period a year earlier (Figure
8.1). The trend for online retail was already growing prior to COVID-19, however, the pandemic and
forced lockdown has seen online sales surge forward to a point that otherwise would not have been
reached until 2023 or 2024.
Further, online retail sales now account for roughly 9% of total retail sales per month in Australia, up
from around 6-7% of total sales pre-pandemic (Figure 8.2).
