The Demographic and Structural Forces Powering Discount Retail: Premium Member Call

11:00 AM – 11:30 AM ET Teams Webinar

ABOUT THIS CALL

Discount and value retail has become a defining force in the US retail landscape, and it continues to expand in the form of off-price, dollar stores, grocery discounters and cross-border e-commerce.

Join Coresight Research for an exclusive Premium Member Call exploring the demographic, financial and structural forces driving the expansion of discount retail. We will discuss what these trends mean for retailers, brands and investors and why their implications extend well beyond the discount sector.

This Premium Member Call marks the launch of our Discount Decades report series that dives into this segment across various sectors and channels.

Drawing on our latest analysis of the US discount landscape, we will examine how financial pressure is spreading beyond traditionally value-oriented shoppers, why value-seeking behaviors are becoming more entrenched across generations, and which longer-term demographic and supply-side forces could sustain growth in the sector.

What We Will Discuss

  • The scale and reach of discount retail.
  • The changing face of consumer financial pressure.
  • The broadening appeal of value among consumer groups, drawing on proprietary shopper data from Coresight Research.
  • The structural forces supporting growth, including demographic change.
  • Why value alone does not guarantee success.

Join John Mercer, Head of Global Research and Managing Director of Retail Research at Coresight Research, for this Member call on Friday, October 16.
