The Retail, Wholesale & Distribution sector is experiencing a phase of rapid transformation, stimulated by technological innovation and changes in consumer habits. With more than 70% of consumers preferring an omnichannel experience and the growing weight of e-commerce, which in 2023 exceeded 20% of global sales, companies must adapt to challenges such as personalization, sustainability, and data security. During the pandemic, digital retail experienced unprecedented expansion, while today, challenges include inflationary pressure, skilled labor shortages, and economic instability.
In the Fashion & Luxury sector, technology is reshaping the customer experience with the metaverse, NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and augmented reality, while sustainability is taking on an increasingly central role. Interest in second-hand luxury is growing by 15% per year, and Made in Italy is confirmed as one of the global excellences thanks to design and craftsmanship quality. The future of this sector is played on a balance between exclusivity and innovation, with a focus on circularity and digital integration.
The most distinctive emerging features are the frenetic pace and strong pressure on time-to-market, the need to adapt quickly to changing market trends, with consumers increasingly demanding in terms of customization, quality and sustainability.
Optimal and real-time management of the supply chain, inventory and omnichannel experience are fundamental challenges for brands that want to remain competitive.
