Companies across the retail sector have been demonstrating resilience despite a turbulent start to the Transformative Twenties.
Our new Retail Futures report details nascent trends in physical retail, such as next-gen Hangout Hubs and youth-centric Play-tail, where retail spaces are being used to foster enjoyment and discovery.
Alongside rising trends for retail, this report also features our latest sector macrotrend, Hyperphysical Stores, which spotlights fresh prospects for physical stores against The Future Laboratory’s framework, The Four Es of Retail. Ranging from enriching to exclusive, these experiential markers will elevate the senses, cultivate community and expand the potential of physical store design.
