Let’s talk about eCommerce growth in Q1 2025, because it’s not exactly on fire, but it’s not frozen either.
U.S. eCommerce pulled in $300.2 billion last quarter, marking a 6.1% increase from the same time last year. That’s the slowest growth we’ve seen since 2022. But here’s the thing, it still beat out brick-and-mortar. So while the big pandemic-era surges are long gone, online sales are still growing. The energy hasn’t disappeared, it’s just more focused.
The Age of the Selective Shopper
Customers aren’t ghosting, they’re just getting choosy. Essentials are winning for now, but that doesn’t mean everything else is out. That means eCommerce sellers who focus on value, speed, and clarity are still very much in the game.
If you’re offering fast fulfillment, clear pricing, and solid product quality, your customer is still out there…just clicking a little more intentionally.
What Slower eCommerce Growth in Q1 2025 Really Means for Sellers
Slower doesn’t mean worse. It means the playing field is shifting from “who can scream the loudest” to “who can deliver the best experience.”
It’s a great time to:
- Double down on top-selling SKUs
- Trim the fat in your catalog
- Automate what you can
- Get razor sharp on margins and fulfillment
You don’t have to chase records. You just have to run smarter than you did last quarter.
