siliconindia | | February 20214After a break, the retail industry is back on track and is thriving with people on the street and on the digital platform. The retail market size in the country is expected to amount to $1.7 trillion by 2026. This not only include the traditional offline and the modern online retail platforms but also Alt retail, which is a new jargon in the retail market. If you wonder what is Alt retail, it is about providing products on rental, servicing, resales, and experience; and subscription-based services have redefined retailing as alternate (Alt) retail. This indeed will open up new paradigm for the industry but the challenges will also mount to numerous. The industry still lacks technology adoption, and is dealing with poor logistics and infrastructure, inefficient supply-chain management, price war, the increasing fraud in retailing, tax structure and bureaucracy, lack of customer understanding and more. And with 100 percent FDI in the online retail of goods and services, the prospect is more bright.
