The line graph compares the sales of 6 essential items in WeBuy within the first six months of 2020.
Overall, there was a rise in the sales of all products in question, with the exception of electronics and clothing. The sales of clothing, in particular, were relatively volatile.
In detail, the sales of food and beverages and books and movies showed a similar pattern of growth. Being the most popular item for the better part of the period, food and beverages saw their sales skyrocket within the first two months, reaching around 55,000 in March. The sales continued growing, albeit marginally, peaking at 60,000 in June. Similarly, initially showing a moderate rise of 5,000 in March, the sales of books and movies soared to 45,000 in April, at which point they plateaued until June.
Likewise, there were considerable rises in the sales of medical items and cleaning supplies and toiletries. Even though the former started off at 10,000 units and the latter at 5,000 in January, both of their sales increased steeply, reaching 50,000 each five months later. In other words, the sales of medical items showed a fivefold increase while those of cleaning supplies and toiletries grew tenfold.
In contrast, electronics and clothing sales varied greatly from other categories. Despite being the top item initially with 40,000 units, electronics sales declined gradually, going down to an all-time low of 5,000 in June. In the meantime, the sales of clothing rose noticeably to 35,000 in the first quarter, only to drop to its initial point of 20,000 in June.
