Factors behind the decline include delayed order shipments due to port congestions, lasting effects of the Chinese government crackdown on local ecommerce giants and surge of COVID-19 cases.

eCommerce ETFs have been trading in negative territory, down by a combined -6% over the past month. Factors behind the decline include delayed order shipments due to port congestions, lasting effects of the Chinese government crackdown on local ecommerce giants and surge of COVID-19 cases in Europe and other parts of the world.
Among the biggest losers of the line-up is the Amplify Online Retail ETF (IBUY), plunging by more than 7% in the last 30 days. The fund tracks the EQM Online Retail Index and is invested in 80 companies that generate 70% or more of revenue from online or virtual sales. As of Q3 2021, IBUY's assets were allocated to Traditional retail (54%), Marketplace (36%) and Travel (10%). In terms of country exposure, the United States has the biggest share (75%), followed by Germany (5.5%) and China (4.6%).

Since inception on April 20th, 2016, IBUY generated over +314% in cumulative gains but has fallen by 27% since it reached it's all time high in February. IBUY has an expense ratio of 0.65% and trades primarily on the NYSE Arca. Amplify has another Retail ETF in its arsenal, the Amplify International Online Retail ETF (XBUY). Unlike its sister, XBUY is international and far more diversified across different regions and countries. XBUY however shared the same fate, falling by 8% over the past month.
eCommerce ETFs could pick steam in December with Christmas around the corner, but shipping delays and supply shortage of key materials may dampen any uptrend.
