Smart Retail comprises of a bundle of amalgamated technologies, which give safer, smarter and faster shopping experience. The smart retail market is a solution for retailer shops, as retailers are facing so many problems in terms of customer visits; despite having their respective websites and mobile apps, retailers often find it difficult to convince the customer to visit the outlet. Smart retailing improves customer visiting shop experience with features like indoor navigation, smart shelves etc. Smart retail brings profitable outcomes for the retailer.

Major factors driving the growth of the smart retail market include a rise in the use of smart phones, and ‘free’ availability of mobile retail application. For instance, in March 2018, Verifone Holding Inc launched Carbon Mobile 5, which brings commerce, payment, and mobility under one portable device. Moreover, companies are investing in smart retail market solutions and are introducing /developing innovative technologies such as Beacons, AR, VR, IoT etc. For instance, Beacon is the device that works on Bluetooth, a low-energy Bluetooth connection, which gives notification about discounts, offers, etc. to the customers whenever they are within a Bluetooth coverage area. Also, the beacon provides indoor navigation of the store and collects information about customer behaviour. Such type of technology is driving the smart retail market because they provide faster and smarter way of shopping. However, the threat of data security and lack of privacy of retailers and customers are hindering the market growth.
