Abstract

With ‘Store of the Future’, ResearchFarm de- livers a one-of-a-kind report. Our analysts pro- vide a interdisciplinary analysis of the key is- sues that will impact the retail landscape in the next five years.
Ageing demographics, fuel price inflation, environmental issues and technology change are about to revolutionise the way consumers shop. The very first signs are already visible, but only a few players have seriously taken this evolution into consideration. Retailers and manufacturers must act together now to avoid expensive later improvements to their store estates, range presentations and modus operandi.
