Online shopping is booming worldwide in times of COVID-19 lockdowns, and it looks like the upcoming Valentine’s Day will provide another sales boost. In times of #stayathome, many users searching for flowers, sweets, or jewelry seem to rely on online shopping even more than last year. The infographic shows what a billion-dollar market Valentine’s Day has become and the momentum with which online retail is growing.
