with enhanced interactive features and more user friendly interfaces.
Multichannel retailers will continue to direct traffic online.
A number of smaller independents will exit the market and larger store-based
chains will scale back their physical estates. This will primarily be as a
result of ever intensifying competition from other channels, particularly
online pureplay specialists and grocers.

struggle to compete with the highly developed operations of the likes of
Amazon and eBay.
