This will shape what consumers purchase and where they purchase from, with reverse urbanization changing the locations of consumption. The impacts of this has been felt since the start of the pandemic, and it will continue to influence where retailers open and close stores.

Automation in the final part of the supply chain will decrease transport costs, though potentially lead to human couriers becoming redundant at some point in the future – though this seems a long way off currently.
