Multicloud environments enable retailers to configure their IT infrastructure according to their specific needs, while also reducing the risk of down time, data loss and security breach.

Restraints:

  • Integration of cloud-based systems into legacy systems

  • The adoption of new retail technologies

Challenges:

  • Complexity and data security concerns

  • Consumer Preferences Are Constantly Changing

Impact of Economic Slowdown:

Soaring inflation, a 40-year high, presents a complex decision-making environment for retail executives. Initial pandemic stimulus programs, ongoing supply chain issues, and the war in Ukraine, all of which have rapidly driven up energy and commodity prices. India's massive retail sector, a 10% contributor to GDP and employer to 8% of the workforce, is characterized by a stark contrast. 80% of its 15 million outlets are small, family-run stores, representing the traditional retail landscape. However, modern retailers are making a bold move, aiming to increase their market share from 4% to 15-20% within the next four years, backed by significant investments exceeding $25 billion. A global recession looms, casting a shadow over India's retail sector. Consumer confidence has plunged to a five-year low, mirroring rising inflation and a slowdown in spending, the lifeblood of the economy. This translates to shrinking profits and declining sales for retailers. The negative impacts extend beyond retail. Manufacturing is also taking a hard hit, and tourism experiences a 10.3% drop in bookings, highlighting the interconnectedness of the economy.

Impact of Russia Ukraine war:

In Ukraine, the technology sector has been one of the fastest growing markets in the world and accounts for more than 4% of GDP prior to the Second World War. In 2021, the Ukrainian IT development sector exports $6.8 billion in information technology services. With an increase of 36% compared to the previous year.

drawn in by the country’s lenient and supportive governance model, favourable tax policies, and the growing technology sector.

The crisis is likely to be a boost for tech talent. One of the preferred destinations of global technology companies was migration as Ukraine, before the invasion. A skilled workforce and relatively low operating costs are key to the success of Ukraine's IT and offshore sectors. As a result, leading technology companies have set up subsidiaries and offshore service centres.

The initial shock has led to a surge in energy prices, and the sudden shortage of raw materials and staple crops is pushing up consumer costs around the world, which have been compounded by inflationary effects caused by the global supply chain crisis.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine sent shockwaves through the global economy, with energy prices surging by insert a specific percentage based on a reliable source, e.g., 30%. This compounded existing inflation, already at a year high (insert the number of years, e.g., 10-year high), fueled by supply chain disruptions.  Global recession Retail confidence fell to its lowest level in five years, a sign that the key sector may be entering an economic downturn. Profit margins were squeezed and sales were expected to fall as a result of rising inflation and slower consumer spending, the main driver of economic growth. The retail industry's going down. A severe blow has been dealt to the manufacturing sector. This has also affected the tourism sector. Hotels have already reported 20-25 % cancellation from international tourists.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
