Ecommerce trends and tariffs

In retail and ecommerce over the past two months, tariffs have been top of mind. The team at Digital Commerce 360 has been covering developments day by day and week by week, along with other major stories on business developments, artificial intelligence and agentic commerce.

In addition, despite being out of the office for the past week, I put together a new coverage roundup of ecommerce trends in 2025 that we’ve been discussing, including the best ecommerce technology investments that online retailers say they’re making and where online furniture sales are headed.

Last week’s installment in this series was particularly timely, breaking down the poor timing for tariffs at consumer electronics retailers such as Apple and Best Buy.
