Detailed Analysis

The rise of the hyperconnected consumer is reshaping the Brazilian retail landscape. Consumers are demanding seamless experiences across multiple touchpoints, blurring the lines between online and offline shopping. This trend is driven by a desire for convenience and speed, as evidenced by the fact that "80% consider convenience an important criterion when deciding where to buy." This has led to an increase in practices like webrooming, where consumers research online before purchasing in-store. The report highlights that in Brazil, "1 in every 3 buyers performs webrooming."
