Stackline defines (thanks to data) what the 100 rising e-commerce trends in items or categories are, as well as what has seen a large decline since the pandemic arrived on our doorsteps.

Interestingly, Americans seem to have shifted to self-reliance a whole lot more, as items like weights and workout gear skyrocket up the trending lists. Landing at the number two spot, bread makers have made a huge surge, as we seek easier and cheaper ways to cut down on grocery necessities, and situations where we must leave the house.

Things like hair dye (with most salons closed), and desks for working from home are climbing up the charts, while items that have a lot to do with travel and the outdoors are feeling the G-forces from a steep fall.

Cameras, luggage, party supplies, and more continue to lose sales as Americans avoid traveling and gatherings. In addition, with a mass closure of resources, bridal and wedding items have fallen to the number five most impacted category of e-c0mmerce as couples all over the world scramble to replan, or re-schedule their weddings.
