Analysis of Consumer Behaviour in 2017 & Forecasts for 2018Jeff Nevil
The UK consumer behaviour has shifted considerably with more purchases being made online rather than in physical stores. This trend was driven by growing smartphone usage and mobile commerce. It has resulted in many store closures and empty retail properties on the high street. While overall retail sales grew in recent years, the shift online has negatively impacted clothing and department stores. Ecommerce continues to grow substantially due to conveniences like next day delivery and the perception of lower prices. Online sales now make up 17% of retail in the UK. This growth is expected to continue in 2018, fueled further by rising mobile commerce. The automotive industry had mixed results in 2017, with early growth driven by exports followed by declines in the second half of the year
This document summarizes retail store closure trends in 2017. True Religion filed for bankruptcy and will close 27 stores. Starbucks is closing all 379 Teavana locations. Over 6,800 store closures were announced but only 5,756 specific locations have been identified. Apparel and electronics retailers account for half of 2017 closures. Many closures are due to bankruptcy, especially for apparel and electronics chains. While some retailers like Macy's and T-Mobile are expanding, overall openings still do not offset the high number of closures across the retail industry.
The document discusses 10 key trends that will define the luxury retail sector over the next 3-5 years:
1) Retail will diversify across digital, physical, and experiential channels.
2) Brands will seek new customers in emerging markets like Africa.
3) International travel and tourism will fuel sales, especially in Europe.
4) Luxury brands will polarize between accessible and ultra-luxury offerings.
5) Media will integrate retail functionality, allowing purchases from editorial content.
6) The men's market is growing faster than women's and attracting millennial shoppers.
7) Brands must personalize experiences to make customers feel special amid digital openness
ASOS is a British online fashion and beauty store founded in June 2000 that offers 850 brands. It has over 12.4 million customers, with 7.7 million being international customers.

The document provides updates on several trends in the UK grocery market:

Supermarkets saw the biggest fall in food prices for over a year in June, with overall food prices declining 0.8%. Fresh food prices fell by 1.5%, the deepest deflation in over a year, while ambient food inflation slowed. The continued price deflation is good for consumers but retailers face pressure from ongoing competition and uncertainty around the impact of Brexit on input costs.
Supermarkets saw the biggest fall in food prices for over a year in June, with overall food prices down 0.8%. Fresh food prices fell 1.5%, the deepest decline in over a year. While lower prices benefit consumers, retailers face pressure from ongoing deflation and a weaker pound increasing import costs. However, competition means retailers may be unable to immediately pass on all rising costs to consumers through higher prices.

Supermarkets saw the biggest fall in food prices for over a year in June, with overall food prices declining 0.8%. Fresh food prices fell by 1.5%, the deepest deflation in over a year, while ambient food inflation slowed. The continued deflation provides benefits for consumer budgets but prices may eventually rise again depending on factors like the pound's value and Brexit's impact on costs. Retailers face continuing pressure to keep prices low in the competitive market.

A Review on Recent Advances of Packaging in Food IndustryPriyankaKilaniya
Effective food packaging provides number of purposes. It functions as a container to hold and transport the food product, as well as a barrier to protect the food from outside contamination such as water, light, odours, bacteria, dust, and mechanical damage by maintaining the food quality. The package may also include barriers to keep the product's moisture content or gas composition consistent. Furthermore, convenience is vital role in packaging, and the desire for quick opening, dispensing, and resealing packages that maintain product quality until fully consumed is increasing. To facilitate trading, encourage sales, and inform on content and nutritional attributes, the packaging must be communicative. For storage of food there is huge scope for modified atmosphere packaging, intelligent packaging, active packaging, and controlled atmosphere packaging. Active packaging has a variety of uses, including carbon dioxide absorbers and emitters, oxygen scavengers, antimicrobials, and moisture control agents. Smart packaging is another term for intelligent packaging. Edible packaging, self-cooling and self-heating packaging, micro packaging, and water-soluble packaging are some of the advancements in package material.
