1 THE TRUTH ABOUT CONSUMERS Paul Martin, UK Head of Retail 23 rd March 2017

2 Our global online consumer report About the survey KPMG International commissioned Intuit Research to conduct a survey of global online shoppers regarding their purchase behaviours, purchase drivers, and perceptions and attitudes towards online shopping. The sample consisted of consumers aged 15 to 70 years old who had made at least one online purchase in the past 12 months, and who were within the top 65 percent of income-earners in their country. The survey was conducted using an online questionnaire. A total of 18,430 qualified responses were received from 51 different countries. Within each country, the sample was weighted to the same age distribution to ensure that country comparisons showed behavioural differences rather than those caused by difference in demographic makeup of the population surveyed in each country.

5 Physical or digital? Both! Consumers expect retailers to integrate their physical and digital environments to provide a much broader, deeper experience. Today s state-of-the-art store is no longer a simple retail outlet but an inviting, highly designed urban space that functions as a store, showroom, activity area and warehouse. The result is a new spirit of collaboration over competition among developers and retailers. These players are sharing data and market intelligence as never before to develop and apply new technologies that converge digital and physical shopping, ultimately creating a highly unified, intuitive, personalized customer experience. 5
