Tough trading hits non-grocery retailers

2018 was a critical year for non-grocery retailers, as seven high street players either entered a Company Voluntary Arrangement or underwent administration. The electronics and appliance specialist retailer Maplin closed all its stores in February 2018, after going into administration.

The dynamism of grocery retailing

However, 2018 was a year of dynamism for grocery retailers. Whilst the international discounters Aldi and Lidl continued their rapid surge on the back of increased consumer price-sensitivity, mergers and acquisitions were also strong.

Automation: the next stage of omnichannel retailing

As automation blurs the line between online and bricks-and-mortar shopping, retailers are going automatic to attract shoppers to stores. The future of bricks-and-mortar stores is a debated topic, and retailers are racing to ensure physical stores keep customers coming back for more.

Is chemists/pharmacies the next casualty of the high street?

Over the summer, Amazon made its move into healthcare by acquiring Pillpack. The full-service pharmacy is designed to serve people who manage multiple medications by providing a personalised monthly service or pre-sorted prescription drugs.

Internet retailing is set to mature, with Amazon strengthening its position

With internet retailing reaching a more mature stage in the UK, and the future development of the channel expected to be slower than the growth experienced over the last five years, retailers across all channels are expected to increasingly invest in technological innovation, as the line between online and bricks-and-mortar shopping becomes blurred. Amazon is expected to become a stakeholder with ever-growing bargaining power amongst fmcg companies.
