It has also increased demand for fast and reliable deliverymost vividly seen in the surging adoption of online grocery (see the Bain Brief “How to Ramp

9、 Up Online Grocerywithout Breaking the Bank”). Covid-19 has given fresh impetus to other shifts, widening the economic gap between haves and have- nots and further fragmenting the path to purchase by impelling consumers to shop (and live) through mobile phones. Thats on top of the operational reperc

The most effective responses to these myriad challenges are going to look very different than the strategies that worked in the past. In particular, we think executive teams ca

Reinvent your value proposition Even after the transformative growth of the last few decades, Asia-Pacific consumers are still becoming more middle class and urbanand more digitally driven, too, aided by the fact that those born after the 1990s are heavil

17、evolving value proposition, improved digital engagement with shoppers is likely to be vitalparticularly through mobile phones. Asia-Pacific consumers already tend to do most of their online shopping through their phones, and this trend is set to deepen, with Forrester forecasting that 70% to 85% of

18、e-commerce will be conducted by phone in 2023 in key regional markets (vs. a forecast of 43% in the US). Amid this mobile migration, the path to purchase is still fragmenting. People are buying more through super-apps such as WeChat, Paytm, KakaoTalk and Grab. E-commerce through social media has als

Retool for digital Asia-Pacific retailers have been at the forefront of new technology adoption. Consequently

Its also helping its retail partners optimize assortment at

46、 a local level using location-based data. Many retailers will need to acquire new skills in advanced analytics to exploit the full potential of their data. Executive teams should also hone capabilities in other key areas of technology: artificial intelli- gence, the Internet of Things, virtual reali

Tomorrows winners will ruthlessly prioritize the new use cases that can deliver the biggest benefits to customers (and their bottom line).

Leaders had to balance a range of competing priorities, running the business at the same time as changing its very essence. All of a sudden, the time frames for change have shortened dramatically. However, Asia-Pacific retailers remain unusually well placed to cope with the disruption. Profit pools remain healthy, and the region boasts many companies that are already attuned to the industrys new digital futureand in some cases are creating that fu
