As shopper behaviours evolve, brands and retailers are working hard to catch up, using tools to connect with a new generation of increasingly demanding and informed shoppers.   In today's challenging economic environment, South African shoppers have become savvier and more selective, seeking good quality at reasonable prices rather than just the cheapest options. This shift has weakened traditional brand loyalty, leading consumers to explore multiple retailers for better value, both in-store and online.   Follow the link to find out more: https://lnkd.in/dC-vVDsr #SouthAfricaGroceryShopperReport #KnowledgeShare

The face of Retail is changing in South Africa! In my latest article, I explore the evolving retail landscape in South Africa and the impactful shifts in consumer behaviour. The State of the Retail Nation report by NIQ South Africa reveals crucial trends that retailers must consider as they navigate the changing retail environment. Key findings from the report highlight positive growth in the South African FMCG sector, reaching 452 billion rand annually. However, changing consumer habits, such as fewer trips to grocery stores and a preference for own-brand products, necessitate retailers to adapt and innovate to meet evolving consumer demands. As online shopping and emerging brands gain traction, the importance of leveraging technology to enhance customer experiences and stay competitive becomes evident. Retailers need agile and scalable technologies to deliver seamless omnichannel experiences that align with modern consumer expectations. At Akinon, we prioritize aligning with these trends, driving innovation, and providing competitive solutions to support retailers in meeting their customers' evolving needs and thriving in the dynamic retail landscape.
