Accelerating Growth and Innovation
2026 is expected to be the breakout year for Agentic Commerce, as retailers look to task autonomous AI agents with product discovery, price comparisons, and task execution.
AI is moving beyond experimentation to becoming a mandatory operational foundation for global commerce, in an era where Agentic Commerce and self-healing supply chains are redefining how growth is achieved.
A data explosion is occurring at the edge, as stores shift from simple automation to real-time AI inferencing to support those much-in-demand personalized VIP shopping experiences.
Retailers are unifying distributed stores and distribution centers into a single digital grid to meet near-instant delivery mandates, increasing pressure on data flow across environments.
Existing networks are under pressure, lacking the low latency and bandwidth required to support always-on AI shoppers, leading to fragmented customer journeys and lost revenue.
