Due to the effects of refraining from going out due to the spread of new coronavirus infection, the number of people who use online shopping is increasing. In particular, a private survey that analyzed big data revealed that the usage is expanding mainly in the younger generation.

This survey was conducted by Nowcast, a data analysis company, which analyzed the usage of online shopping while protecting privacy based on the purchase history of credit cards.

According to this, the percentage of those who did not use online shopping in January before the spread of infection was 40% or more in their 20s in April who newly used online shopping.

On the other hand, this ratio declines as the age increases, around 30% in the 30s, around 20% in the 40s, and around 10% in the 70s.

“I can see from the data that young people have taken a big step online to prevent infections,” said Tsutomu Watanabe, a technical adviser to the company that conducted the survey. There are some hurdles to online shopping, such as preparing and studying how to use it. There are some people who go beyond this hurdle, but the data shows that it is not so many. ”
