E-commerce is dramatically changing these days, with many states and countries adopting the “stay home, stay safe” attitude. We see an increasing amount of companies adapting their work style to be remote-based. This change is very obvious when observing the market leaders such as Google, Microsoft, and Facebook.
We reviewed the changes in Amazon’s Office Supplies category, by comparing the data week by week, looking for changes in the different product rankings. Comparing the data over time helps see subtle-though-consistent changes in ranks, prices, and reviews.
Most of the changes in the Office Supplies category are due to large corporate offices being closed down temporarily and many home offices are being created as people try to adapt their home workspace to the comfort they are used to in their corporate office.
The most interesting change we saw was in printer inks and office papers. Seems that people are definitely printing less, with products like paper and many types of printer inks being bought substantially less.
Legal pads, label printers, and envelopes are increasing in sales, many of them with a first appearance in the top 100 best sellers in office supplies. This shows that people are creating many new offices with many productivity tools.
