Australians spent more than $50.46 billion online in 2020, a 57% increase from the previous year, with Victorians in lockdown leading the way by far.
That’s according to a report from Australia Post, which outlines some of the e-commerce trends seen in the topsy turvy year that was 2020, and highlights the suburbs where households spent the most online.
The top five postcodes for online retail last year were all in Metropolitan Melbourne, where COVID-19 lockdowns dragged on for the longest.
And while residents of Point Cook retained their title as top online spenders, e-commerce in the postcode increased almost 120%.
