About the Session
Join us for a whistle stop tour of the "The State of Scottish Retail" as our speakers delve into the dynamic and evolving landscape of Scottish retail, highlighting key statistical insights and market analyses to provide a comprehensive overview of the sector.
We then move on to discuss the major trends influencing Scottish retail, including the rise of Ecommerce, the shift towards sustainable and ethical consumerism, and the impact of global economic fluctuations.
The talk also addresses the challenges faced by the Scottish retail sector, such as competition from international markets, logistical issues, and the changing regulatory landscape post-Brexit. We explore how Scottish retailers are navigating these challenges, focusing on resilience and adaptability in a rapidly changing market.
Finally, we identify and analyse emerging opportunities within Scottish retail. This includes the potential for growth in niche markets, the increasing importance of technology and data analytics in retail strategy, and the role of Scottish retail in supporting local communities and economies.
