People are more conscious about the environment, so sustainable products are becoming popular this year. People want to buy things that can be used for years. Products that come with gadgets are also getting popular. People want to feel like they’re getting something out of their purchase by learning how to use the product, rather than just buying it and never using it again. The internet will be the future of shopping. Consumers will be spending more money on e-commerce, and there's no sign of slowing down. The online shopping trends for 2021 are predicting that consumers will spend more money on e-commerce than in the physical world. These predictions are based on forecasts about online sales in 2020 and how they'll grow in 2021. The growth in online sales is attributed to the growth in mobile device usage, which means consumers can shop conveniently from their homes or anywhere they have a connection to the internet.

As we know, the holiday season is one of the most popular times for people to spend their money. In 2021, we can expect some changes in retail trends and strategies. First of all, 2020 was a tough year for retailers because many stores were closed all over the country. So it's not a good idea to put your eggs in one basket just yet. Secondly, consumers during pandemic are spending more time on social media and online shopping than ever before. The result is that e-commerce sales will surpass $2 trillion this year and keep growing in the future and offline stores will suffer from this shift too. In 2021, it will be a mix of the old and the new. While technology is becoming more and more embedded in our lives, there will still be a place for traditional gifting. New trends will also come from the rise of AI assistants, that can do things for you without you even having to ask.
