US Survey Update: Online Apparel Shopping Tapers Off, Purchases in Electronics Improve (Full Report)

What's Inside

Coresight Research’s October 20 survey provides a detailed update on US consumers’ behaviors, concerns and expectations amid the coronavirus crisis, with a focus on the implications for US retail.

This week, we highlight changes in online apparel shopping behavior and improvements in electronics retail. Our survey findings cover the following:

• What activities respondents have done in the past two weeks and what they expect to do in the next two weeks
• Whether respondents are currently avoiding public areas or travel—and which types of places or travel they are avoiding
• Whether respondents are buying more or less of any retail categories as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak and, if so, which types of products
• Whether US shoppers are making more purchases online during the coronavirus outbreak and, if so, which categories

The findings provide an update to our previous reports, which were based on surveys undertaken on October 13, October 6, September 29, September 22, September 15, September 9, September 2, August 26, August 19, August 12, August 5, July 29, July 22, July 15, July 8, July 1, June 24, June 17, June 10, June 3, May 27, May 20, May 13, May 6, April 29, April 22, April 15, April 8, April 1, March 25 and March 17–18.
