Description

The challenges facing independent retailers in 2022 are expected to significantly intensify as both traditional and digital major market players converge on competing in the evolving retail landscape. 

Our discussion focuses on the forces and factors of change destined to reshape the retail environment going forward.  The changing consumer dynamics of Covid-19, the growing impact of Omni-channel, a supply chain stretched beyond limits, a mandate to optimize assortments at the shelf, and product innovation coming out of hibernation.  Addressing these five forces and factors allows each NGA member to understand and prioritize the levers to pull in increasing their local market competitive posture.

Success will be driven by new levels of highly aligned and lowered cost to serve collaboration retailer, wholesale distribution, and CPG partnerships. The importance of empowered collaboration is more important than ever before to compete in and win in 2022 .
