Thank you for taking our Shopper Survey, the results are in! Over the last two years, there is no question that shopping habits have evolved. In fact, Adobe estimates that the pandemic has added a whopping $218.53 billion dollars to ecommerce since March 2020.  US ecommerce grew 14.2% in 2021.

According to a study that SheSpeaks just completed with 1,200 respondents, women still buy the majority of their groceries in store.
