The fashion and retail landscape is changing quicker than ever before.

From the pandemic, rising cost-of-living crisis, and supply chain woes, it’s never been more important for brands to start looking ahead to the future.

Events such as these have highlighted fundamental flaws in business processes, changed consumer behaviour, and accelerated trends that were previously years away.

Crucially, what this means for fashion and retail brands is that they cannot overlook technologies that could shape their businesses for the better.

Our latest research surveyed 403 fashion and retail decision makers to understand their familiarity with, and attitude towards, emerging trends and technologies that will shape the future.

Here are just a few of the key stats uncovered:
