The coronavirus-led social-distancing protocol and shelter-at-place restrictions, which have boosted the demand for door-to-door delivery of essentials as well as other items, are likely to have continued driving the customer momentum of Coupang in the quarter under discussion.

Additionally, increasing online orders for groceries, medicines and other essential items, as people refrain from stepping outside their homes due to fears of contracting the deadly virus, are likely to have aided the first-quarter performance of the company.

Also, the growing proliferation of Internet usage and ultrafast delivery services are anticipated to have aided growth in Coupang’s logistics business, Rocket Delivery, in the to-be-reported quarter.
