IDC Retail Insights' European Retail Trends, 2022
This IDC Perspective examines key technology trends that emerged in retail during 2021 — namely autonomous stores and contactless, inventory forecasting, and the metaverse — and are expected to develop further in 2022. We will see how these trends are likely to develop in 2022, with examples from leading European retailers. It also examines how technology providers can help retailers to capitalize on opportunities from the examined trends. "2021 was an eventful year for retailers in Europe. Customer behavior was transformed, and retailers able to quickly respond succeeded. We expect further acceleration of the trends we saw in the past year in 2022, providing great opportunities for technology suppliers to collaborate with retailers to help them thrive," said Filippo Battaini, research manager, IDC Retail Insights Europe.
