Global Retail & Consumer Goods Sector Outlook along with an Overview of the Tissue Towel Market

The retail and consumer goods sector has witnessed a mind-blowing shift in the last few years and this has largely to do with the extent of technology penetration into the sector at every touch point – both business and consumer centric. Retailers are going all out in their adoption of smart technologies to woo their customers in a bid to increase brand equity. Cloud, the Internet of Things (IoT), and in-memory computing have revolutionized the manner in which brands interact with customers. The overall global sector scenario – given the rich tapestry of technology underneath – looks quite promising owing to several key factors. The main contributor to the growth of the retail and consumer goods industry globally is a rise in consumer spending brought about by an increase in per capita disposable income and consequently more purchasing power in the hands of consumers.

With the consumer purchase journey having become increasingly complex and diversified, brands are devising new strategies to engage their customers with the right messaging delivered at the right time and through the right channel. In the current context, a few key trends are expected to redefine the retail and consumer goods sector in the near future:

• The middle-class consumer will wield maximum spending power – almost triple – by the year 2030

• Consumers will move beyond traditional stores and shop through connected mobile devices

• 3-D printing, retail robotics, wearables, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR) will proliferate the consumer goods industry

• A mobile enabled omnichannel retail strategy will define sector investments in the coming years
