Cultural awareness and lifestyles are constantly changing, and retail channels are continuously iterating, from 'birds of a feather flock together' to 'people of similar interests gather', serving life with newer and more efficient circulation methods. Along with channel upgrades, new product systems, new consumer groups, new consumption scenarios, new data systems, and new organizational management will emerge. The first generation of offline retail includes department stores, supermarkets, shopping malls, convenience stores, specialty stores, and chain channels. The second generation of online retail includes platform e-commerce, vertical e-commerce, O2O platforms, community e-commerce, media e-commerce, and micro-businesses. The emerging new retail includes chain convenience stores, unmanned retail, office shelves, vending machines, SPA (private label), and Hema model.
