New technology is opening up further opportunities within ecommerce, as AR and 3D sizing solutions help online retailers to solve challenges around size and fit.

Consumers are already shopping online more than ever before, of course, but these solutions could further accelerate the shift to ecommerce – particularly within fashion.

With further innovation in sizing technology, could we see even more consumers ditching physical retail for specific products or journeys?
