The coronavirus pandemic is sure to leave many lasting effects on the retail industry, including bankruptcies, store closures and layoffs. It could also mean a healthy fraction of consumer demand for clothes and shoes is lost forever, according to one analyst.

However, he said, the pandemic has likely impaired consumer demand for apparel and footwear, longer-term. Retailers that have had their stores shut for weeks because of the virus have been trying to make up for that lost traffic via their websites.
