The Subscription Trade Association (SUBTA) compiled data from dozens of resources to analyze and reflect on the coronavirus pandemic’s impact on the direct-to-consumer subscription industry.
For more than a year, the coronavirus pandemic has influenced almost every aspect of our lives and made significant impacts on our economy. With most people forced to stay home across the world, companies that could provide convenience and comfort experienced a historic growth in 2020.
SUBTA analyzed the industry’s six segments to evaluate how the pandemic affected subscription brands, and what opportunities could be tapped into as a return to normal is expected in the near future.
