Report 1: Apparel Marketplaces – Thematic Research
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the consumption habits of apparel shoppers, as they are mostly shopping at online apparel marketplaces. The need to socially distance and shield at home has forced consumers to avoid physical activities. It is encouraging people to embrace online channels and be more experimental with their purchases to reduce spending and closet space, which will likely lead to a longer-term shift in consumer behavior. Robotics is quite significant in apparel marketplaces in speeding up supply chain operations and attracting more independent retailers/merchants/sellers. Virtual reality and augmented reality are also gaining popularity among retailers because they can be used to provide a store-like shopping experience to customers who shop online.

Report 2: Retail Marketplaces – Thematic Research
The growing appetite of consumers to shop via digital channels has created opportunities for marketplaces to grow their businesses. Marketplaces/retailers are adding new features and functions, such as personalized product recommendations, chatbots, visual search, and delivery saving schemes, to their websites to enhance shoppers’ experience. These days, retailers are using AI applications to improve shopper journeys. The most applicable uses of AI are computer vision, machine learning, and conversational platforms.

Report 3: Circular Economy in Retail – Thematic Research
As the urgency to address climate change has grown in recent years, circular economy has gained traction among a broader segment of society, including both consumers and retailers. Implementing a circular economic model necessitates reorganizing the value chains of various commodities to reduce waste and maximize utility. AI is expected to play a prominent role in combining the megatrends of circularity and digitalization of industries. It can multiply the competitiveness of the circular economy business model by enabling better rental/leasing services and Product-as-a-service (PaaS). Moreover, digital platforms will make consumers more aware of the importance of recycling/reusing through blog posts, interactive sessions, games, and quizzes.

Report 6 – Thematic Research: Ecommerce in Packaging
Ecommerce is a channel that is expected to contribute to growing sales, year on year, and hence needs focus and resources for the future. As online shopping grows to offer more nuanced solutions, brands and manufacturers must understand the changes in consumer online shopping behaviors to know which is right for them. Ecommerce enables businesses to communicate directly with customers while also building brand loyalty.
