2024 Edition | A Retail Economics – GFS Publication

In today’s volatile retail landscape, UK retailers are losing a staggering £34.4 billion annually to basket abandonment. If you’re tired of losing potential sales, our 2024 Basket Abandonment Report underscores the critical need to address consumer expectations head-on to thrive in the UK eCommerce market.
