Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future of Retail Keynotes: Food, Drink, Malls, Web

Retail strategies for a post-coronavirus world. As a physician by first training and a Futurist advisor / keynote speaker on industry trends and strategy to over 400 of the world's largest 2000 companies, with a proven track record of longer term forecasting over the last 25+ years, here are some guiding principles for the retail sector beyond Coronavirus / COVID-19.  The retail sector will recover more rapidly in emerging markets with younger populations, less access to health care, and faster spread of coronavirus.

The Global Crisis will accelerate pre-existing retail trends. Most megatrends described in my books, including The Future of Almost Everything, will continue to shape the world fo retail, food and drink sales as before, but the Coronavirus pandemic will bring forward the timings of many key events in many industries and will cause major disruptions.

Future of Retail: $5 trillion global e-commerce sales by 2025. Impact on malls and traditional retail. How to create MAGIC. Futurist speaker Interview with Fortune Magazine (Greece), and video of futurist keynote on retail trends in Greece and globally

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future of Retail Keynotes: Food, Drink, Malls, Web

Interview for Fortune Magazine (Greece) 21 February 2019 - Patrick Dixon gave a keynote on retail trends for Lamda Developments in Athens.

In many EU nations, 70% of all retail spending is already in just four or five retail chains, and across the EU as a whole, 50% of all food sales take place in just ten chains. National price wars will become regional price wars. Sales by chains in the EU will continue to grow fast – 25% growth over the last 14 years, but their retail floor space has grown at twice that rate, so their productivity has fallen

Global e-commerce sales will be $5 trillion by 2025, from more than $2.6 trillion in 2018, mostly on mobile devices. Amazon is now the world’s third largest retailer after companies like Wal-Mart, Carrefour and Tesco, with $232bn of sales a year.  Over 30% of all UK shopping apart from groceries is already online, growing at 10% a year, mostly via mobiles. E-commerce is growing at 30% a year in Asia. These are pointers to the future of Greek retail. In Greece, EU5bn is already spent online, mainly on shoes, clothes and electronic devices - over 3% of the entire economy, and 25% of this is bought on smartphones.

Future of Retail Food industry Keynote - how to create Magic for your retail customers: grocery stores, hypermarkets, convenience stores, future patterns of food buying and consumer food preferences

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future of Retail Keynotes: Food, Drink, Malls, Web

Keynote on future of food industry, food retailers / trends in beverages  / supermarkets / superstores / retail food and beverages / drinks industry / future of convenience stores and specialist retail outlets – Keynote at SUPERMARKT DES JAHRES 2015, organized by Burda Life and LPV Media GmbH . Huge Ultra-HD wide screen was used at the retail event which is why the format of these slides is unusual.

How to create magic for your customers in the food industry. The future is about emotion: understand how your customer feels and you will unlock many secrets of future success. Seven key words will drive the future of food retail and the groceries industry: PRICE – SPEED – CHOICE – QUALITY – EXPERIENCE – INSPIRATION – TRUST. It is almost impossible to deliver on all seven and still make a profit.  Retailers need to decide how they are going to make their own customer magic.  For example, they could go for price, or for quality, or for a combination such as speed, price, experience (corner store), or quality, inspiration, choice (upmarket superstore).  Need a world-class retail keynote speaker for your event?

How to feed 11 billion people - future of the food industry. Why there will be plenty of food to feed everyone if we tackle supply chain and retail waste, and improve efficiency in farming. Food industry trends keynote speaker

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future of Retail Keynotes: Food, Drink, Malls, Web

Today, we grow enough food to feed 9 billion people, and in future we should easily be able to feed 11 billion. We waste well over 40 per cent of the food we grow, worth USD3 trillion – in fields, storehouses, factories, warehouses, shops and rubbish bins.

We will see more genetically modified crops in many regions, with crops resistant to disease, drought, and able to grow in salty soil. Genetically modified animals will also be widely consumed in over 30 per cent of the world by 2040.

Expect a rise in the proportion of global grain production used to feed animals to more than 45 per cent beyond 2025. Already more than 70 per cent of grain produced by wealthy nations is fed to livestock. There are absolute limits on the availability of suitable land. Therefore, the price of farmland is likely to rise in many nations over the next 20 years.

Future of the Food Industry and Retail Trends - keynotes, videos

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future of Retail Keynotes: Food, Drink, Malls, Web

Future of food industry and retail sector – articles, videos and presentations on the future of the food and retail industry. Food is an emotional business – just think of a mother’s anxieties when there is yet another scare about contamination of baby food.  The same applies to drinks. So if we want to understand the future of food and beverages, we need to understand how consumer emotions are changing. Leaders of food and drink companies need to be sharply focused on rapid changes in public mood, perception and values, with uncompromising commitment to quality and value. Brand reputation is earned in a lifetime and lost in a day. Food brands have proved remarkably enduring because food enables us to recapture early childhood memories.

While it is true that in these nations, most consumers are still very uncomfortable about buying online, that is changing fast. Compare with the UK where 33% of some groups of people have stopped watching conventional TV because they only watch TV online, and where 12% of all retail is now online shopping, of which over 50% of purchases are using a mobile device. Need a world-class retail industry keynote speaker for your event?

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future of Retail Keynotes: Food, Drink, Malls, Web

Future food crisis and why there are global food shortages. Population growth is often blamed but we have enough food to feed the world without hunger of famine. Food price crises of 2007-8 and 2011-12 were caused by many factors including flood, drought, failed harvests, damaged crops, disease.

But the biggest single change was burning food as biofuels. In 2011 over 40% of all wheat grain grown on farms in America was burnt in vehicles.
