UK Artificial Intelligence in Retail Market (2024-2029)

The research study involved four major activities in estimating the AI in retail market size. Exhaustive secondary research has been done to collect important information about the market and peer markets. The next step has been to validate these findings and assumptions and size them with the help of primary research with industry experts across the value chain. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been used to estimate the market size. Post which the market breakdown and data triangulation have been adopted to estimate the market sizes of segments and sub-segments.

Secondary Research

The market size of the companies offering AI in retail solutions to various end users was arrived at based on the secondary data available through paid and unpaid sources and by analyzing the product portfolios of major companies in the ecosystem and rating the companies based on their performance and quality. In the secondary research process, various sources were referred to identify and collect information for the study. The secondary sources included annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of companies, white papers, journals, certified publications, and articles from recognized authors, directories, and databases.

Secondary research was mainly used to obtain critical information about industry insights, the market’s monetary chain, the overall pool of key players, market classification and segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level, regional markets, and key developments from both market-oriented and technology-oriented perspectives.

Primary Research

In the primary research process, various sources from the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information for the report, Such as Chief Experience Officers (CXOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), directors from business development, marketing, and product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from AI in retail solutions vendors, system integrators, professional and managed service providers, industry associations, independent consultants, and key opinion leaders.

Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights, such as market statistics, data on revenue collected from platforms and services, market breakups, market size estimations, market forecasts, and data triangulation. Stakeholders from the demand side, such as Chief Information Officers (CIOs), Chief Finance Officers (CFOs), Chief Strategy Officers (CSOs), and the installation team of end users who use AI in retail solutions, were interviewed to understand buyers’ perspectives on suppliers, products, service providers, and their current usage of AI in retail solutions which is expected to affect the overall AI in retail market growth.

Note 1: Tier 1 companies have revenues over USD 1 billion, Tier 2 companies range between USD 500 million and 1 billion in overall revenues, and Tier 3 companies have revenues less than USD 500 million.
Other designations include sales managers, marketing managers, and product managers.

Market Size Estimation

Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the total size of the AI in retail market. These methods were also used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. The research methodology used to estimate the market size includes the following:

Artificial Intelligence in Retail Market : Top-Down and Bottom-Up Approach

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall market size from the above estimation process, the AI in retail market has been split into several segments and sub-segments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and sub-segments, data triangulation and market breakdown procedures have been used, wherever applicable. The data has been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides. The AI in retail market size has been validated using top-down and bottom-up approaches.
