This list of 2024 market trends highlights how today's leading brands are focusing on generating a sense of authenticity and emotional connection among consumers. With immersive and engaging experiences like pop-ups and phygital experiences, many brands aim to offer seamless, interactive environments that enhance the customer's journey.
Driven by consumer interest in phygital experiences, Sephora’s Store of the Future locations are reshaping beauty retail by blending cutting-edge technology with immersive shopping experiences. Designed to offer a seamless integration of digital and physical elements, these stores allow customers to interact with products in new and innovative ways.
Another example is GNC's dedicated GLP-1 section, which supports customers using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy.
