Configure Partners is proud to release the latest Consumer & Retail Industry Snapshot, observing the macro and personal economics impacting consumer shopping habits and retailer sales.

Consumer behaviors are in flux, and we are in the midst of a transformation within the retail sector as a result. Prototypical brick-and-mortar retail footprints are becoming less prevalent as retailers transition towards virtual, online, and even “meta” store locations.

COVID-19 pandemic has had a permanent impact on consumer buying behaviors, and in 2022, unique factors continue to impact the industry despite e-commerce spending normalizing as well as continued improvements in overall foot traffic.

The retail industry has been in flux for the last several years as consumers continue to shift their purchases online. This trend clearly accelerated during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
