Coresight Research x Blue Yonder Retail Insights: US Retailers Prioritize Local Sourcing While Consumers Demand Faster Delivery

What's Inside

Coresight Research and Blue Yonder conducted two surveys in early January 2021 to understand US retailers’ strategies around local sourcing and the impact of Covid-19 on US consumers’ shopping behaviors.

Based on our findings, we present five key retail insights in this report, covering the following topics:

• Retailers’ sourcing changes implemented due to Covid-19
• The benefits that retailers are seeking through local sourcing and nearshoring strategies
• The degree to which retailers’ perceptions and strategies align with consumer priorities when shopping
• Preferred shopping channels by consumers when purchasing clothing and footwear
• The importance of retailers’ environmental sustainability and social impact initiatives to consumers in choosing where to shop for clothing and footwear
