Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future of Retail Keynote Speaker, e-commerce

Retail strategies for a post-coronavirus world. As a physician by first training and a Futurist advisor / keynote speaker on industry trends and strategy to over 400 of the world's largest 2000 companies, with a proven track record of longer term forecasting over the last 25+ years, here are some guiding principles for the retail sector beyond Coronavirus / COVID.  The retail sector will recover more rapidly in emerging markets with younger populations, less access to health care, and faster spread of coronavirus.

The Global Crisis will accelerate pre-existing retail trends. Most megatrends described in my books, including The Future of Almost Everything, will continue to shape the world fo retail, food and drink sales as before, but the Coronavirus pandemic will bring forward the timings of many key events in many industries and will cause major disruptions.

Future of the Food Industry and Retail Trends - Futurist keynotes, Videos on Retail Trends

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future of Retail Keynote Speaker, e-commerce

Future of food industry and retail sector – articles, videos and keynotes on the future of the food and retail industry. Food is an emotional business – just think of a mother’s anxieties when there is yet another scare about contamination of baby food.  The same applies to drinks. So if we want to understand the future of food and beverages, we need to understand how consumer emotions are changing. Leaders of food and drink companies need to be sharply focused on rapid changes in public mood, perception and values, with uncompromising commitment to quality and value. Brand reputation is earned in a lifetime and lost in a day. Food brands have proved remarkably enduring because food enables us to recapture early childhood memories.

Future of Retail Industry - focus on retail sector in Latin America, smartphone sales, rapid growth of e-Commerce. Why Big Data matters in retail yet greatest value often in Little Data. Future of Retail Keynote Speaker

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future of Retail Keynote Speaker, e-commerce

Future retail trends in Latin America: 70 million people are already online in Mexico (58% of adults), 88 million in Brazil (46%), 28 million in Argentina (67%), 10 million in Chile (59%) and 10 million in Peru (34%).

While it is true that in these nations, most consumers are still very uncomfortable about buying online, that is changing fast. Compare with the UK where 33% of some groups of people have stopped watching conventional TV because they only watch TV online, and where 12% of all retail is now online shopping, of which over 50% of purchases are using a mobile device. 

Post written in 2014 - very accurate.
