The world is facing an extraordinary crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has sent shockwaves throughout global communities, dislocated international supply chains and triggered steep selloffs in financial markets. It has already become clear that the high street will take on a very different form once the pandemic is over. Weaker players will, unfortunately, cease to exist, leaving behind a smaller but more resilient sector that have acted fast.
For our report series, we partnered with Retail Economics, to provide new data-backed insights analysis into the extraordinary crisis sweeping through the retail industry, based on economic modelling, financial analysis and consumer panel.
