The retail landscape is changing and there is no going back. Now more than ever, retailers need to think strategically about how they will adapt and survive in this new climate.

This could mean cutting back on the number of stores, doubling down on bridging the gap between the offline and online, or even focusing on at-home experiences driven by virtual channels.

Our latest research, in collaboration with Retail Gazette, quizzed more than 140 senior retail leaders on their plans for the coming months to learn more about the industry’s burgeoning trends.

Here are just a few of the key stats we unearthed:
