The Future Of Retail

The report investigates the vectors transforming both online and brick-and-mortar trading in the next 2-to-5 years. The report begins by focusing on the most important social and economic developments (e.g., ageing of the population, digital divide, smart cities, emergence of metro areas), before examining the up-and-coming technological advances (e.g., last mile delivery, cashierless checkout, visual search, in-store voice search,….). It also presents three “weak signal” cases (e.g., hybridization of retail, at home pop-up stores and non-adjacent convergence) and four inductive future scenarios.Product details Publication Date: December 5, 2019
