Retail Market Drivers
The key drivers of the retail market include:
Significant Adoption Of Automation
The significant adoption of automation will drive the growth of the retail market during the forecast period. Automation refers to the use of technology, systems, or processes to perform tasks with minimal human intervention. The adoption of automation in retail has significantly boosted efficiency, reduced costs, improved customer experiences and accelerated order fulfillment, driving overall growth in the industry. For instance, in January 2025, the AI (artificial intelligence) in retail survey conducted among 100 US executives with a minimum seniority of Vice President at retail companies by Honeywell, an American publicly traded, multinational conglomerate, found that more than 8 out of 10 retailers plan to increase use of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) across their operations to adapt to changing consumer behaviors, enhance employee skills and improve efficiency for shoppers. 35% of major retailers plan to significantly increase their AI investment. Therefore, the significant adoption of robotics and automation will support the growth of the retail market in the forecast period.
Retail Market Restraints
The key restraints on the retail market include:
Supply Chain Disruptions
Supply chain disruptions is expected to hinder the growth of the retail market during the forecast period. These disruptions refer to unforeseen events that disrupt the seamless movement of goods and services within a supply chain. They negatively impact retail growth by causing inventory shortages, escalating costs and delaying product availability, ultimately resulting in lost sales and decreased customer satisfaction. Additionally, rising logistics and procurement expenses strain profit margins or lead to higher prices, potentially reducing consumer demand and slowing market expansion. For example, in September 2024, Ivalua Inc., a France-based software company, reported that nearly 47% of UK businesses experienced increased supply chain disruptions over the past year, with 45% expecting further disruptions in the next 12 months. Therefore, supply chain disruptions are likely to restrain the retail market's growth.
Retail Market Trends
Major trends shaping the retail market include:
Advancement In Retail With IoT-Integrated Solutions To Optimize Processes
Companies are focusing on Internet of Things (IoT)-integrated solutions to enable retailers to create personalized shopping experiences by tracking customer behavior in-store and online. IoT technology facilitates the creation of smart environments where devices can monitor, control and optimize processes, leading to improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit across the retail industry. For instance, in February 2024, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., a China-based manufacturing company, launched the Retail Solution. Huawei's Retail Solution is tailored for retail environments including campuses, stores and interconnected branches. It integrates advanced technologies like Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity), cloud computing, IoT and storage to enhance operational efficiency, cost reduction and the consumer experience. The solution comprises four specialized components including a smart store solution, an intelligent warehousing solution optimizing inventory management with IoT, an energy efficiency solution utilizing IoT sensors for smart energy management and a digital marketing solution providing comprehensive store management insights.
Advancements In AI-Powered Solutions For Personalized Retail Experiences
Leading companies in the retail market are prioritizing the adoption of AI-powered solutions to deliver a personalized shopping experience. AI is being increasingly integrated into retail operations to improve customer engagement and optimize processes. Retailers are leveraging AI for personalized marketing, demand forecasting, and inventory management. For instance, in November 2023, Panasonic Connect Europe, a Germany-based technology company, launched a new AI-powered solution to personalize in-store retail. The unique feature of this AI-powered solution is its ability to revolutionize retail by personalizing advertising with generative AI assistants for customers as they shop. Stores can now automatically track shopper demographics, merge this information with buying preferences and contextual factors like weather or local events and immediately customize advertising on in-store displays. Panasonic, in collaboration with ADEAL Systems, a data and AI specialist company based in Germany, has integrated its AI-powered personal shopping assistant, CUSAAS (Customer Segmentation As-a-Service), with advanced retail technology cameras and display solutions to create a next-level shopping experience.

The key drivers of the retail market include:
Technology Advancement
Rapid growth in technology is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Areas of particular development are likely to be POS (point-of-sale) technology, self-check out technology beacons, robotics, automation and augmented reality. For example, retail companies are increasingly investing in drone technology to reduce delivery times and increase profitability. A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is remotely controlled or flies autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their systems. Major convenience store companies as 7 Eleven have started drone deliveries long before the other small competitors. 7 Eleven started its drone deliveries in December 2016 and completed about 77 such deliveries in a month. Ordered items, including food and over-the-counter medicine, were packed into special containers and flown by drones that used GPS capabilities to find addresses. Also, in 2020, Walmart announced the launch of Alphabot, an automated system which is a grocery picking and packing robot a fastest speed which is expected to increase Walmart efficiency.

Retail Market Restraints
The key restraints on the retail market include:
Increasing Costs
Rising costs had a negative impact on the growth of the retail market during the historic period. This rise in supply chain costs and increasing costs for developing inventories restrained the market in the historic period. Additionally, companies invested heavily in marketing their products due to intense competition in the market.

Retail Market Trends

Launch of Innovative Technologies in Fuel Retailing
Digital transformation is a key to the future of retail fuel operations and is gaining significant popularity in the retail industry. Innovative technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, blockchain, and application programming interfaces (APIs) not only help fuel retailers to track customer usage and spending but to provide customers with their specific requirements and at the right price. For instance, retailers are communicating offers and discounts to drivers via connected cars (part of the IoT) and have started using AI to identify the best time of day to contact consumers, with purchase offers based on website visits and past clicks data. Fuel retailers are providing customers with electronic payment options such as WeChat Pay, AliPay, and PayPal to provide secure and reliable money transfers. Moreover, fuel retailers are recognizing the importance of the digital revolution and are increasingly investing in these technologies. According to the Accenture research study published in April 2019, more than 8 in 10 or 81% of fuel retailers plan to increase their investment in digital technologies over the next three to five years.
E-commerce Stores Setting Up Offline Stores

Birchbox, an e-commerce store opened its first physical store in Soho, New York and companies like Bonobos and War by Parker estimated to have to have increased its brick-and-mortar stores to 100 in 2018. Also, in 2019, Madison Reed, a hair care brand in America announced its plans to open 600 stores by 2024. 2 E-commerce retailers setting up offline stores are good news for brick-and-mortar concept because it validates the need for physical stores.
