In May the index was @129% that is 7,5% higher than in April 2021 and 22,7% lower than in May 2020.
«The significant increase in May 2020 was due to the lockdown in place (due to covid). Although there are few restrictions in place now, we still see an increase in the first 5 months of 2021 over 2019 and this is because many shoppers made a habit of buying online this coupled with the general trend of the development of online commerce (more choice, better and faster delivery) explains the significant growth vs 2019», — this is the input of Inna Karaeva, who is the Executive Director of Romir and MILE Group.
