U.S. E-commerce Trends as of Q2 2026

By Tellusant, Inc.

E-commerce continuous to grow and the second quarter follows the steady-state trend. No surprises.

This steady increase continues to put pressure on traditional retail. In just 5 years, e-commerce has grown five percentage points (relative to covid-cleansed trend), or 40%. Staggering number.

What we see is a version of boiling the frog. Each increment may not look like much, but combined the change is massive.
