A Now, Next, Future vision for retail

In the dentsu Consumer Vision 2030, we identified four overarching themes that will shape the next ten years in terms of consumer behaviour and brand response. Shopper DNA applies these themes to examine how the UK retail sector will change in the next decade and what this means for brands.

Customer needs are at the forefront of these themes and reflect the dynamic and changing nature of the retail landscape and the ongoing challenges it faces. We uncover the actions and motivations of today’s multi-channel consumer, providing recommendations for brands to ensure they are well positioned to serve today’s shopper and the shopper of the future – when, where and how they want to be served.

Based on multiple proprietary consumer surveys; a comprehensive innovation patent scan; and extensive secondary research and case study analysis, as well as interviews with retail experts; we share a Now, Next and Future vision for retail.

Four forces that will shape the next ten years of consumer behaviour in retail

To help simplify such a huge undertaking, we’ve boiled down our analysis to four themes, each underpinned by three key trends – not by design, but by thorough, bottom-up identification, assessment, and prioritisation.

We’ve also proposed recommendations for brands across each trend. Together, these can help brands develop what we call inclusive intelligence – the ability to incorporate new views, values and behaviours into their value proposition against a backdrop of widening inequality and ethical complexity.
