The Asia Pacific smart retail market size is estimated to reach USD 65.32 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 31.0% from 2024 to 2030, according to a study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing need for better shopping experience and customer service and the increasing adoption of smartphones are anticipated to be the key factors driving the market. Additionally, increasing adoption of the latest technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance in-store shopping experience also supports the Asia Pacific smart retail market growth.
Currently, in the retail industry, conventional brick-and-mortar stores are facing extreme competition from swiftly expanding the e-commerce sector. Thus, traditional retailers need to integrate smart retail technologies in stores to maintain their customer base and to enhance the shopping experience. Retailers are aggressively adopting solutions based on the latest technologies, such as AR, IoT, VR, NFC, and RFID, as part of the efforts to cater to the changing consumer needs and offer highly efficient customer service.
Besides, investment in the retail industry has been growing significantly over the past few years in line with continued advancements in the latest technologies. Moreover, retail chains are investing expressively in emerging economies, such as China and India, to expand their presence in Asia Pacific. For instance, in November 2018, Walmart Investments Cooperative U.A invested USD 37.7 million in Wal-Mart India Pvt. Ltd. to expand presence in the Indian market. Thus, increasing investment in the retail industry is anticipated to create substantial growth opportunities for the smart retail service providers.
Asia Pacific is projected to emerge as the fastest-growing region across the globe, owing to an increase in the deployment of smart retail solutions across supermarkets and brick-and-mortar stores. In the top 250 retail companies, more than 60 companies have a presence in the region. The market in India is estimated to expand at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The global retailers contemplating an international venture are particularly considering India as a lucrative market owing to the country’s strong demographic profile and economic growth. The tier-2 and tier-3 cities in India and the untapped rural sector are particularly providing ample growth opportunities for the retail industry.
