Top 100 Business Trends in 2023

From Illusory Retail Spaces to Metaverse Pharmacies

— January 28, 2023 — Business
As we enter a new year, it's essential to stay up-to-date on the latest business trends shaping the world of commerce and the 2023 business trends range from illusory retail spaces to metaverse pharmacies.

One notable trend is unstaffed convenience stores: Self-checkout kiosks and AI-powered assistants are making it possible for convenience stores to operate without human employees. Look for this trend to continue as businesses look for ways to cut costs and increase efficiency.

Another intriguing example from the 2023 business trend roundup is phygital NFT art exhibits. Combining the physical and digital worlds, these art exhibits allow visitors to view and purchase unique, one-of-a-kind works of art using non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Stay ahead of the curve by keeping up with the latest developments in the world of commerce.
