The coronavirus pandemic has significantly impacted the ways in which consumers engage in retail, and we expect demand for contact-light shopping to become the new norm. In this report, we explore how retailers can implement contact-light retail across four key opportunities: 1. Curbside pickup 2. Contactless payment 3. Cashierless stores 4. Vending machines We also discuss examples of innovative contact-light approaches that have emerged amid the crisis, including fresh-produce vending machines in China and a new mobile app launched by an experiential department store in New York.
