Frictionless shopping in retail - Thematic Research

Frictionless shopping in retail - Thematic Research

Summary

Over the last decade, consumer expectations of retailer’s ability to facilitate a quick, intuitive shopping journey have developed. The rapid growth of the online retail market has been largely driven by its ability to circumnavigate large swathes of the typical shopping experience, enabling shoppers to browse and purchase on-the-go or from the comfort of their own home. The “increasingly busy” lifestyle with which consumers often describe themselves as having, ridding as many hurdles in the shopping journey - or creating a “frictionless” experience - is becoming a vital point of differentiation for retailers worldwide. Frictionless shopping is therefore an unavoidable theme for retailers across all channels and countries. This report breaks down the seven fundamental topics within the theme, retail’s leaders and laggards in the sector, and provides an overview of relevant macroeconomic, technological and retail trends that retailers must be aware about to compete more thoroughly over the course of the next decade.
