Global Smart Retail Technologies and Market Trends Analysis Report 2023: VCs Foresee Opportunities for Startups to Leverage Data and Increasingly Capable Hardware in Unique Ways

DUBLIN, Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Smart Retail: Technologies and Trends Analysis (2022-2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The "Smart Retail: Technologies and Trends Analysis (2022-2025)" report is approximately 25,000 words (95 pages). It establishes a strategic framework for smart retail adoption, then explores relevant technologies.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced even culturally reluctant retailers to mimic or learn from ecommerce platforms and brands' own direct-to-consumer, sometimes lifestyle-associated channels. This change was only the beginning: digital transformation lays the groundwork for optimization, and new hardware awaits. "Smart retail" could bridge the gap between lockdown era approaches and a new consumer reality characterized by inflation and different forms of uncertainty.

The vast majority of retailers expect to increase their use of technology, going beyond omnichannel capabilities by layering on creative customer experiences (VR/AR/MR) and emerging acquisition channels (voice, live, and social commerce).

Venture capitalists foresee opportunities for smart retail startups to leverage data and increasingly capable hardware in unique ways, such as automated or virtual stores, leading to high valuations and exits. For consumers, the promise of smart retail is typically a more cohesive, personalized, engaging, and beneficial shopping experience.
