The Future of Retail Over The Next Five Years

From an interview on the future of retail with Matthew Pavich, Revionics Managing Director of Global Strategic Consulting by Fotis Georgiadis of Authority Magazine. Originally posted on Authority Magazine.

Can you share 5 examples of how retail companies will be adjusting over the next five years to the new ways that consumers like to shop?

  1. Growth in eCommerce: COVID-19 has accelerated the growth of eCommerce and forced a lot of retailers to reconsider how important it is. Now, we’re looking at retailers who didn’t have a large eCommerce platform before trying to figure out how to grow their online channel. As this channel expands, they need to consider additional things, including how to price competitively and how to be price transparent. Additionally, there will be an increase in potential competitors as new retailers who are primarily focused on eCommerce for a specific category enter the market, creating a challenging landscape for the future of retail.
