Abstract: This research paper will attempt to assess the impact the coronavirus has had on the E-Commerce industry of the UAE. Previous literature has been reviewed to understand the scope of E-Commerce previously present in the UAE before the onset of the new novel coronavirus. Two time periods have been included in the regression analysis to develop a better perceptive of the E-Commerce industry before and after the spread of the infectious disease. Through our study, we were able to conclude a significant positive relationship in both periods. Coronavirus has positively affected the E-Commerce industry as more retailers and consumers have shifted onto online channels for their buying and selling activities. The latter part of this paper includes a discussion and special recommendation section to underline the current situation and how it can be improved.
