The Global BOPIS Market
Buy Online, Pick Up In Store, or BOPIS, is a retail revolution sweeping across the U.S., underscoring a key trend in consumer habits. With shoppers having spent over $95 billion via BOPIS in 2022, it’s clear this is not just a minor blip on the retail radar. What’s even more striking is that this only amounts to 9% of all e-commerce sales, indicating massive growth potential. The global BOPIS market, in fact, is expected to surge past $700 billion by 2027.
Driving Efficiency: The Power of Technology
Given that the U.S. represents the largest pickup economy worldwide, it’s evident that retailers need cutting-edge tools and technology to streamline and enhance the in-store pickup experience. As of today, two-thirds of all U.S. retail chains offer click-and-collect services, reflecting the increasing demand for the fusion of online convenience and traditional in-store collection.
