FUTURE OF ECOMMERCE
The retail industry is in the eye of the latest disruption of industries.
What’s to expect and what to hang on to?
Key Note Description:
As a text book example of disruption, the conventional retail industry is in the eye of disruption as we speak.
Since the pioneer Michael Aldrich in 1979 designed the first form of ecommerce, various market analytics have cried “Wolf!” time and time again. Although growing exponentially, the timing of the predictions was not right. Met with disappointment, many led to disregard the continued growth of ecommerce and in turn the thread to the conventional retail industry.
However, in the early part of 2017 ecommerce reached the tipping point. It has gained not only volume – but just as importantly – the believe of the market. Whilst the closure of retail stores is accelerating and investors are turning their back at conventional retail afraid of being “Amazon’ed”.
So... the question is:
-
What to expect from consumers?
-
What trends to follow?
-
How to react?
