in the way
BRITAIN, Napoleon once supposedly scoffed, was “a nation of shopkeepers”. Nowadays it is a nation of online shoppers. The British do a greater share of their retail spending online than almost anyone (see chart). And, in spite of the prospect of Brexit, the industry has been growing fast this year. By 2020 online sales could rise by almost 50% to reach ?63bn ($74bn), according to one recent forecast. The transformation in the way households do their shopping is squeezing some industries, while creating whole new ones.
What's the meaning of "in the way" above?(I have consult a dictionary, but it gives the meaning of "get in the way/block", which seems not to match this sentence. Or, should I interpret it as a attributive clause?)
