AI, bargain shopping expected to impact retail in 2025 — RetailWire.com

Analysts predict that AI will make a big impact on retail, particularly as bargain hunting consumers continue to seek out deals:

“Other industry voices focused on the opportunities presented to retailers in terms of leveraging AI to its maximum potential, including Melissa Minkow, global director of retail strategy at CI&T. Indicating that Americans will likely be even more cost-conscious and price-aware next year than they already are — and that, if enacted, the incoming administration’s planned tariffs could cause prices to soar — Minkow stated that retailers would be wise to capitalize on AI tools to navigate the increasingly complex market, particularly when it comes to pricing strategies.“
