Redefining Retail In The New Decade

The past decade witnessed several technological and consumer shifts that defined the retail industry, ranging from mobile retailing to customer personalization. As we embarked into the new decade, industry leaders are anticipating even greater movements that will upend the retail sector and bring it to new heights.

To identify emerging retail trends and investment priorities, Management Events interviewed 930 top-level executives and key decision makers from over 500 leading organizations who attend our retail events. We also uncovered top retail technologies and digital focus areas through our Executive Trend Survey, which include data and analytics, cloud computing and cyber security.

Surprisingly, our findings discovered that less than 40% of retail leaders are prioritizing on retail industry solutions, concentrating foremost on enhancing their customer experience and improving their digital business strategies.
