During the research period, the growth of the shopping cart market tended to stabilize, driven by the following factors:

(1) Changes in consumer demand and shopping habits

As consumers tend to buy more goods at a time, especially in large retail malls, supermarkets or warehouse stores, the demand for shopping carts has increased. Such consumer habits have driven the continuous optimization of the capacity and design of shopping carts in shopping malls to meet the needs of bulk shopping.

(2) Mall size and layout

The size and layout of the mall directly affect the demand for shopping carts. Large malls or supermarkets often need to provide more shopping carts to meet the needs of high-traffic shoppers. In addition, the internal traffic design (shopping path) of the mall also affects the frequency and number of shopping carts used.

(3) Optimization of shopping experience

Retailers continue to improve the shopping experience and enhance the function and design of shopping carts. For example, a lightweight and easy-to-operate shopping cart design is more attractive to customers and improves customer satisfaction. Shopping carts with humanized designs such as baby seats and cup holders can also improve the shopping experience of family consumers.

(4) Changes in population structure

With the advent of an aging society, more shopping malls are providing shopping carts that meet the needs of the elderly, such as lightweight shopping carts with support functions, to improve the shopping convenience of the elderly. The increase in family shopping demand has also prompted more family shopping carts (with child seats) to be put on the market.
