Deep Dive 12 minutes PremiumDeep Dive: The US Retail Revolution Solution Coresight Research July 7, 2017 Executive Summary The US retail industry is experiencing a period of revolution rather than evolution. Three things characterize the current transformation: traditional retailers such as department stores and specialty retailers are undergoing huge disruption, emerging players in different segments are intensifying competition and higher e-commerce penetration is challenging brick-and-mortar retailers.
