Retail 2020: Insights from Asia-Pacific
The 2009-2010 Retail Thought Leadership Project
We are pleased to introduce to you the 2009-2010 Retail Thought Leadershipresearch project.
With this research, we investigate future trends and their implications for retail strategy in the Asia-Pacific region. The future and strategy for retailers over the next decade is a critical issue to address, particularly given the current economic downturn.
To this end, the ACRS research team set out to conduct a series of interviews with retail thought leaders, executives and retail operators in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and China. This interview data was combined with a review of various secondary sources in order to develop a comprehensive picture of the retail landscape and key trends likely to impact the industry between today and 2020. The findings provide valuable insight into the key trends likely to impact retailers in the coming years. We discuss implications as well as subsequent
recommendations and likely scenarios for retailers in the years ahead.
The team that worked on this report trust that you will find the information insightful, thought provoking, and helpful in shaping your future strategies.
If you have any questions in relation to this report, please do not hesitate to contact The ACRS Research Team.
