COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the global economy in three ways: by hampering profitability, hurting production and demand directly, and depleting financial reserves and cash flows. The COVID-19 pandemic has an equal impact on retail logistics companies. Due to the labor shortage and supply chain problems in the early stages of the pandemic (Q1 and Q2), the industry faced a slight setback. Later, as consumers preferred internet shopping over in-store, the rise in online orders put a burden on retail logistics companies’ transportation and logistical services.

Currently, businesses have already begun to try to get back to normal, but they are confronting numerous obstacles on both consumer and operational level. Meeting client expectations in terms of process optimization, growing security concerns about connected networks, increased connectivity challenges, and a drop in industrial and retailing operations are just a few of them.

Market Growth Factors:

Increase in the integration of drone & smart glasses in transportation vehicles

The integration of drones and smart glasses into the transportation vehicles has enhanced pliability and delivery speed, which is expected to positively impact on the growth of the retail logistics market over the projection period. In both urban and rural settings, self-driving vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and trucks are capable of maintaining high reasonableness and same-day delivery.

Increasing Advanced Technology Integration

Artificial intelligence, Blockchain, machine learning, and other modern technologies are expected to be widely implemented in the retail sector. Improved data management, tailored experiences, predictive analysis, and real-time support are all benefits of AI. Other AI applications, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and others, help retailers stay in touch with their customers. This boosts company profitability by updating customers about promotions and sales.

Marketing Restraining Factor:

Change in Customer Behaviour following the COVID-19 pandemic

After being under complete lockdown for over three months, the retail industry is finding it difficult to get back on track. Retail, like other customer-driven industries, hinges on client behavior and engagement, and it’s having trouble keeping up with lockdown-induced changes in customer behavior. Along with declining revenues, retail is suffering from a data shortage.
