Five Key Future Trends for Retail
The insights have been used to stimulate debate on the priority for retail in the
years ahead - five key future trends and supporting evidence are detailed below.
1: Re-emphasise the Local – Sustained importance of the local and the physical
2: Identity Insight – Digital ID enables bespoke experiences, pricing and engagement
3: Automated Retail – Delivering differentiation within the automated experience
4: Continuous Interaction – Buying, delivery and return are anytime, anywhere
5: Informed Consumers – More, better data gives customers more influence and control

Accessible Cities
A key ambition for many is to plan cities for people not cars, providing
better public transport, new cycle ways and creating more walkable areas,
while also encouraging more integration rather than segregation.
Local Superblocks
Major cities seek to revitalise localised communities through improving
accessibility. The 15-minute city ambition drives more to emulate Paris and
Barcelona. Local hubs act as a focal point for shared product and service access.
Working Near Home
Post Covid19, higher levels of remote working are sustained for some.
At-home and localised working become the norm for many in the service sector.
Local communities are rejuvenated as work, retail, leisure and interaction align.
Local Clusters
Local hubs for those in knowledge-based sectors have long been proposed as a
means of minimising the daily commute. ‘Work, live, play’ clusters in cities allow
residents to access different activities including retail all embedded in one area.
Emphasis on the Local
With more single households, sustained working near home and delayed
retirement, many seek to make more of their local communities.
Finding common interest and activities is a priority for several.
The Human Touch
In a world of global and digital marketing and consumption,
consumers will increasingly favour those brands that can offer more
emotional engagements, and specifically human-to-human contact.
2: Identity Insight – Digital ID enables bespoke experiences, prizes and engagement
2: Identity Insight – Digital ID enables bespoke experiences, prizes and engagement
Digital ID
Validation of credentials and age verification is instantaneous,
with the user increasingly in control. Shared access to digital
identity platforms disrupts proprietary business models.
Emotional Insight
Retailers use a combination of AI and facial recognition to assess the
emotional state of shoppers – and then adapt staff interaction to suit.
Full Journey Transparency
Ubiquitous tracking and data analytics provide brands with real-time insight
into the full customer journey, before and after the core interaction.
AI Integration
The use of AI expands to enable the ‘seamless’ retail experience.
Deep learning and chatbots are widely deployed: physical and digital
experiences are blurred as machines automatically configure options.
Dynamic Pricing
More products and services are priced for the individual and the moment.
All prices are variable and flex depending on demand, interest and need.
Frictionless Payments
Banks finally deliver the zero friction ambition as location sensing, digital
identity and the IoT are integrated to provide real time validation and payment.
3: Automated Retail – Delivering differentiation within the automated experience
3: Automated Retail – Delivering differentiation within the automated experience
No Staff Stores
More brands experiment with outlets that have no staff. Customers access
and pay for product digitally as shelves are restocked automatically.
24/7 continuous operation is at the core of many propositions.
Urban Delivery
Small, slow-moving, autonomous robots act as an accelerator of automation.
They enable safe, clean, convenient and low-cost delivery and help
to raise public confidence in the wider adoption of unmanned logistics.
Automated Retail
Automation is progressively embedded within many areas of retail.
While robots providing customer support and stocking shelves are the most
visible, ‘hidden’ tech like facial recognition is changing the customer experience.
Conversational Commerce
Customers are increasingly comfortable interacting with chat-bots.
Many are more open, honest and flexible with machines than human support.
Voice becomes a primary mechanism for frictionless payment.
Automation of Interaction
Information-rich jobs are initially supported by a first phase of AI but replaced
by the second. Automation mimics behaviours previously unique to humans.
Data as an Asset
Organisations are obliged to account for what data they own or access.
They are required to report their full data portfolio and are taxed on this.
Leaders seek to have a far better and informed view of the value of data.
4: Continuous Interaction – Buying, delivery and return are anytime, anywhere
4: Continuous Interaction – Buying, delivery and return are anytime, anywhere
Meaningful Locations
Successful physical interaction with consumers moves to the few select
locations and moments where they want to, or need to be, on a regular basis.
Flexible Formats
As the pace of change for technology and consumer expectations
accelerates, many retailers adopt increasingly flexible smaller options.
More specific propositions and experiences are tailored to niche markets.
Experience Centres
Brands seek to create interactive venues where you can try,
but not buy, products. Immersive experiences are designed
to engage, excite and educate customers and seed digital purchase.
Omni-Channel Fulfilment
Order delivery increasingly integrates multiple options that best suit individual
customer preferences and brand capabilities – mixing traditional options such
as home delivery, click and collect with in-car and to-person drop off.
Seamless Returns
Returning unwanted products is a smooth as same-day delivery.
Brands compete to automate making taking-back as seamless as ordering.
Regular Subscriptions
Online and physical brands alike seek to deepen customer relationships through
providing weekly, monthly or quarterly home delivery, often at a discount.
5: Informed Consumers – More, better data gives customers more influence and control
5: Informed Consumers – More, better data gives customers more influence and control
Shared Data
Customers are progressively willing to share their data in exchange for better,
more personal products and experiences. Retail brands compete to access and
analyse information in real-time to tailor interaction, support and pricing.
Greater Transparency
Consumers seek, and can, see a fuller picture on product provenance.
Digital tracking of source, processing, production, distribution and retail
location, timing and pricing are all available to those who want to know.
Love: Warts and All
With corporate transparency becoming a necessity, businesses have to
address it as both an opportunity and a threat. Successful brands will find ways
to take customers with them - even as they reveal their less attractive sides.
Polyamorous Loyalty
Brands begin to embrace customer promiscuity, finding ways to
recognise their emergent desire to build a patchwork identity
through diverse and conflicting choices.
Millennial Shopping
Millennials and Gen Z form the majority of shoppers and want deeper, more
social experiences. Although digitally informed and researched, interaction
within physical stores with friends is an increasingly preferred option.
Transactional vs. Emotional
Seamless payments will distance consumers from understanding
monetary value. Brands reconsider the way they connect to
customers providing more holistic and emotional value.

  • 1. The Future of Retail – Five Key Trends Insights from Multiple Expert Discussions 9 Dec 2020
  • 2. Context This presentation draws on emerging shifts that will impact the future of retail - mixing macro trends with sector changes as well as consumer expectations. Future of Retail Macro Sector Consumer Relevant Global Trends • Impacting many areas • Driving lasting change Customer Experiences • Setting expectations • Influencing behavior Retail Changes • Emerging in niches • Accelerating impact
  • 3. Five Key Future Trends for Retail The insights have been used to stimulate debate on the priority for retail in the years ahead - five key future trends and supporting evidence are detailed below. 1: Re-emphasise the Local – Sustained importance of the local and the physical 2: Identity Insight – Digital ID enables bespoke experiences, pricing and engagement 3: Automated Retail – Delivering differentiation within the automated experience 4: Continuous Interaction – Buying, delivery and return are anytime, anywhere 5: Informed Consumers – More, better data gives customers more influence and control
  • 4. 1: Re-emphasise the Local – Sustained importance of the local and the physical

  • 6. Accessible Cities A key ambition for many is to plan cities for people not cars, providing better public transport, new cycle ways and creating more walkable areas, while also encouraging more integration rather than segregation.
  • 7. Local Superblocks Major cities seek to revitalise localised communities through improving accessibility. The 15-minute city ambition drives more to emulate Paris and Barcelona. Local hubs act as a focal point for shared product and service access.
  • 8. Working Near Home Post Covid19, higher levels of remote working are sustained for some. At-home and localised working become the norm for many in the service sector. Local communities are rejuvenated as work, retail, leisure and interaction align.
  • 9. Local Clusters Local hubs for those in knowledge-based sectors have long been proposed as a means of minimising the daily commute. ‘Work, live, play’ clusters in cities allow residents to access different activities including retail all embedded in one area.
  • 10. Emphasis on the Local With more single households, sustained working near home and delayed retirement, many seek to make more of their local communities. Finding common interest and activities is a priority for several.
  • 11. The Human Touch In a world of global and digital marketing and consumption, consumers will increasingly favour those brands that can offer more emotional engagements, and specifically human-to-human contact.
  • 12. 2: Identity Insight – Digital ID enables bespoke experiences, prizes and engagement
  • 13. 2: Identity Insight – Digital ID enables bespoke experiences, prizes and engagement
  • 14. Digital ID Validation of credentials and age verification is instantaneous, with the user increasingly in control. Shared access to digital identity platforms disrupts proprietary business models.
  • 15. Emotional Insight Retailers use a combination of AI and facial recognition to assess the emotional state of shoppers – and then adapt staff interaction to suit.
  • 16. Full Journey Transparency Ubiquitous tracking and data analytics provide brands with real-time insight into the full customer journey, before and after the core interaction.
  • 17. AI Integration The use of AI expands to enable the ‘seamless’ retail experience. Deep learning and chatbots are widely deployed: physical and digital experiences are blurred as machines automatically configure options.
  • 18. Dynamic Pricing More products and services are priced for the individual and the moment. All prices are variable and flex depending on demand, interest and need.
  • 19. Frictionless Payments Banks finally deliver the zero friction ambition as location sensing, digital identity and the IoT are integrated to provide real time validation and payment.
  • 20. 3: Automated Retail – Delivering differentiation within the automated experience
  • 21. 3: Automated Retail – Delivering differentiation within the automated experience
  • 22. No Staff Stores More brands experiment with outlets that have no staff. Customers access and pay for product digitally as shelves are restocked automatically. 24/7 continuous operation is at the core of many propositions.
  • 23. Urban Delivery Small, slow-moving, autonomous robots act as an accelerator of automation. They enable safe, clean, convenient and low-cost delivery and help to raise public confidence in the wider adoption of unmanned logistics.
  • 24. Automated Retail Automation is progressively embedded within many areas of retail. While robots providing customer support and stocking shelves are the most visible, ‘hidden’ tech like facial recognition is changing the customer experience.
  • 25. Conversational Commerce Customers are increasingly comfortable interacting with chat-bots. Many are more open, honest and flexible with machines than human support. Voice becomes a primary mechanism for frictionless payment.
  • 26. Automation of Interaction Information-rich jobs are initially supported by a first phase of AI but replaced by the second. Automation mimics behaviours previously unique to humans.
  • 27. Data as an Asset Organisations are obliged to account for what data they own or access. They are required to report their full data portfolio and are taxed on this. Leaders seek to have a far better and informed view of the value of data.
  • 28. 4: Continuous Interaction – Buying, delivery and return are anytime, anywhere

  • 30. Meaningful Locations Successful physical interaction with consumers moves to the few select locations and moments where they want to, or need to be, on a regular basis.
  • 31. Flexible Formats As the pace of change for technology and consumer expectations accelerates, many retailers adopt increasingly flexible smaller options. More specific propositions and experiences are tailored to niche markets.
  • 32. Experience Centres Brands seek to create interactive venues where you can try, but not buy, products. Immersive experiences are designed to engage, excite and educate customers and seed digital purchase.
  • 33. Omni-Channel Fulfilment Order delivery increasingly integrates multiple options that best suit individual customer preferences and brand capabilities – mixing traditional options such as home delivery, click and collect with in-car and to-person drop off.
  • 34. Seamless Returns Returning unwanted products is a smooth as same-day delivery. Brands compete to automate making taking-back as seamless as ordering.
  • 35. Regular Subscriptions Online and physical brands alike seek to deepen customer relationships through providing weekly, monthly or quarterly home delivery, often at a discount.
  • 36. 5: Informed Consumers – More, better data gives customers more influence and control
  • 37. 5: Informed Consumers – More, better data gives customers more influence and control
  • 38. Shared Data Customers are progressively willing to share their data in exchange for better, more personal products and experiences. Retail brands compete to access and analyse information in real-time to tailor interaction, support and pricing.
  • 39. Greater Transparency Consumers seek, and can, see a fuller picture on product provenance. Digital tracking of source, processing, production, distribution and retail location, timing and pricing are all available to those who want to know.
  • 40. Love: Warts and All With corporate transparency becoming a necessity, businesses have to address it as both an opportunity and a threat. Successful brands will find ways to take customers with them - even as they reveal their less attractive sides.
  • 41. Polyamorous Loyalty Brands begin to embrace customer promiscuity, finding ways to recognise their emergent desire to build a patchwork identity through diverse and conflicting choices.
  • 42. Millennial Shopping Millennials and Gen Z form the majority of shoppers and want deeper, more social experiences. Although digitally informed and researched, interaction within physical stores with friends is an increasingly preferred option.
  • 43. Transactional vs. Emotional Seamless payments will distance consumers from understanding monetary value. Brands reconsider the way they connect to customers providing more holistic and emotional value.
