Abstract
China's e-commerce industry has experienced a substantial digital transition following the COVID-19 outbreak. This transformation is evident in various dimensions, such as technical advancements, shifts in customer behavior, and adaptations in operational frameworks. This article looks at how COVID-19 has affected China's e-commerce sector and how it has affected businesses' digital transformation. It is discovered through data and case analysis analysis that digital transformation improves competitiveness, lowers costs, and increases efficiency. However, it also emphasizes that a variety of issues, including personnel, management, technology, and so forth, must be taken into account while implementing digital transformation. Lastly, a few recommendations are made to help China's e-commerce sector succeed in the digital revolution.
