In 2020, the Internet garden products market is estimated to achieve growth of 25%, profiting from the surge in Internet usage as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

 According to the latest Internet Garden market report from AMA Research, it is likely that online sales will continue to expand as social distancing measures remain in place, constraining in-store retailing for the remainder of 2020 and potentially into 2021.

 Online shopping is following an upward trajectory, with 87% of UK adults shopping online in 2020. As both fixed and mobile Internet speeds increase, and smartphone ownership expands, it is likely that more consumers will use the Internet for shopping in the coming years.Consumers are also becoming increasingly aware that cheaper prices can be found online, with price comparison websites facilitating easy comparisons. Product research via blogs, reviews, social media and YouTube is likely to cause an increase in purchases of garden products online.
