I see crisis-era ecommerce demand as shifting rather than disappearing: particular product categories can surge even during a crisis.
During COVID, people sold millions of portable thermometers and masks online.
My central point is that ecommerce demand shifts dynamically rather than disappearing.
I have shared several brief observations and links about ecommerce demand, but the captures leave important context and supporting evidence unavailable.
On July 28, 2025, I pointed readers to a link titled “The definition of explosive demand.” The linked content is not captured, so I cannot recover the definition.
On August 11, 2025, I shared a Shopify piece titled “The Top Online Shopping Categories Worldwide in 2024.” The capture gives no category names or article findings. On August 12, I remarked on electronics and fashion together, referring to the same title quoted from @ariesnotebook; the combined figure was my post’s claim, not a verified finding here.
On August 12, 2025, I said electronics and fashion together accounted for $1.68 trillion online, emphasizing that this covered just those 2 categories; the capture gives no individual category figures or calculation method.
On November 20, 2025, I described an insatiable appetite for new products. I did not identify who had this appetite, which products I meant, or what evidence supported the observation.
