Decoding Consumer Behaviour with Data
Carl West kicked off the session by delving into the intricate world of consumer behaviour, leveraging data from over 5 million online shoppers. Foxintelligence's data-driven approach provided a profound understanding of trends that are steering the eCommerce ship in 2023.

The Surge of Secondhand and Refurbished Sales
Acknowledging the prevailing cost of living pressures, West highlighted the rapid growth of secondhand and refurbished sales. This trend, particularly in categories like fashion, signifies a shift in consumer preferences towards sustainable and cost-effective choices.
