Not every country has followed the same trends, in terms of online
shopping, despite being somewhat close in size or population. One
example is Sweden, where it took longer to put highly restrictive
measures in place. Despite this, interest in online shopping peaked
earlier in Sweden. Another example is Singapore, which faced the
pandemic earlier. However, public interest in online shopping peaked
later during 2020.
