“Amazon is one of the world’s largest retailers and benefited greatly from the ‘couch commerce’ phenomenon that emerged due to lockdowns imposed by the Coronavirus pandemic. More than a year on from the global outbreak of the pandemic, Amazon looks set to build on the momentum built from 2020 with the situation still fluid in even some of the most developed markets.”
