The COVID-19 outbreak is expected to drive e-commerce sales in Australia at a compound annual growth rate of 10.3% by 2024, according to GlobalData.

The report states that e-commerce payments in the country are estimated to grow by 13.9% in 2020 to reach A$52.2 billion (US$36.7 billion). That’s because a lot of consumers stayed home and used online channels to avoid physical contact.

This trend is likely to continue and as a result, e-commerce sales in Australia are expected to reach A$77.1 billion (US$54.2 billion) in 2024.
