7. Vision 2020: technology
• Advent and progress of the
web
– Web 2.0 itself has brought in
simplicity to human interface
– The gradual creeping in of web
3.0 type interfaces will further
revolutionize the way people
make purchases
• The world is a much smaller
place, thanks to technology,
communication and human
mobility
– Each of these has an impact
on the way retailing is done
– Retailer’s outlook needs to be
global in nature
• Convergence of media
– Will continue to play a major
part with same information
available through hand-held
devices, computers,
televisions, and household
devices

Social media has overtaken porn as #1 activity on the web. And
porn as an industry (on the web) did not do that well in 2009.
1 of 8 couples married in the US last year, met via social media
More people follow Ashton Kutcher and Ellen Degeneres than
the combined population of Ireland, Norway and Panama
Over 200mn blogs, 54% bloggers post or tweet daily. 78%
people prefer peer recommendations, than search engine
results. Only 14% trust advertisements and TV commercials.
If Facebook were a country, it would be the 4th largest, though
China’s Q-zone is larger. >1.6Mn pieces of content are shared on
Facebook, daily!
80% of twitter usage is on mobile devices.
Youtube is the 2nd largest search engine in the world. 34% post
opinions about products and brands
35% book sales in the US are already on Kindle. News is now
pushed, to you. Same is about to happen to products, and
brands.

in many cases.
• Marketing, advertising would have taken a
new shape completely.
• Will be difficult for larger stores not to be
click-and-mortar.
• Store within store depending on area of
expertise.
• Potential for biometrics again.

• Retailer chains will
have to take
advantage of
mutual synergies
• New capital advent,
and consolidation
• Wake up, and
outsource.
• Expect NE-India to
play a part in CRM
• Considerable
dependence on
social media

• Inevitably
– Retailers will start supplying
(at least to themselves)
– Suppliers will start retailing
– Quality labor shortage at
lower compensation points
will continue
– New-age retailers will take
advantage of the above
– Many more MNCs with
franchise models
