The retail design industry is constantly evolving as retailers seek to create innovative and memorable shopping experiences for their customers. It involves designing and creating the physical spaces in which retail products are sold, and includes designing the layout, visual merchandising, and overall look and feel of the space, which could be new store concepts, redesigning existing spaces, or creating temporary installations or events. Retail design can take place in a variety of settings, including traditional brick-and-mortar stores, pop-up shops, and online stores. In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of technology in retail design, such as the use of virtual and augmented reality to create immersive shopping experiences.
