What changes await wholesale and retail trade sector in Ukraine? Market trends.

The pandemic, and further the military actions on the territory of Ukraine, became catalysts for changes in the trade sector. The most resilient companies operating in the market began to explore methods and strategies for doing business in a new way. The main trends include:

• Intelligent supply chain planning technologies such as determining the demand, inventory optimization, multilevel planning and response management.
• Investing in next generation e-commerce platforms to enhance the customer experience.
• Increased focus on multichannel marketing optimization to enhance the customer experience.

Retail proved to be more resilient to the challenges as consumers quickly shifted to online shopping. Offline outlets are under strong pressure due to the declining attendance and rising costs. Among the main trends are:

• Retailers are focusing on how to move to Net Zero Retail by reducing carbon emissions in operations, products and supply chains.
