The Retail industry is consumer driven. Attitudes, perceptions and behaviours continually evolve into consumer trends which can develop into cultural norms. Businesses need to keep abreast of, and accommodate these changes. Shifting emphasis within the industry as consumers demand value for money and a complete service experience requires companies to progress and meet these requirements.
Over the last 5 years Australians have shown their willingness to purchase over the internet, and this trend has significantly altered the retail industry. With the advent of retail over the internet came the increasing concern of online security, but service providers utilising the internet have responded through developing appropriate security measures to guarantee their customers security.

Credit has been rising steadily relative to GDP over the last few years, largely due to increased access to household credit. This household expenditure is not expected to stop in the immediate future and therefore the retail industry should continue to experience the positive effects of this.
