  1. The Global Adoption of AI + AR



    There has been remarkable growth of technology innovation and brands are leveraging these solutions faster than ever to drive their businesses. Brands investing in these technologies are growing in the double digits, and consumers have come to expect customized shopping experiences powered by AI and AR technology when shopping online, in-store, and through social commerce. During the forum, brand leaders emphasized the importance of interactive, AI-powered solutions for creating fun, immersive and entertaining shopping experiences for consumers. It was clear that AI + AR technology has become table stakes for brands to succeed today, and is an essential tool for brands to leverage in order to facilitate and deliver these new-age, hyper-engaged shopping experiences.



  2. The Growing Importance of Personalization Throughout the Consumer Shopping Journey:



    Beauty and fashion consumers today are more likely to purchase from brands that provide personalized recommendations. AI + AR technology has become a must-have tool for beauty and fashion brands to leverage when looking to provide personalized shopping experiences to their customer base. One panel focused on the many ways AI is transforming the skincare retail journey, with speakers highlighting how AI technology is helping consumers identify the best product regimen for their individual skin concerns, as well as track skin results over time. This type of tailored, personalized user experience is one we will continue to see more and more brands deliver to meet consumer demand.



  3. The Role of AI + AR Tech in Sustainability:



    The widespread adoption of AI + AR virtual try-on technology has helped brands transition from physical sampling to a fully digital platform sampling initiative. For many brands, this technology has eliminated the need for physical product samples and helped reduce product waste. During the forum, brand speakers discussed the many ways AR technology is helping to increase purchasing confidence and helping to minimize product returns for a more sustainable and eco-friendly retail landscape. It was clear, sustainability and accountability remain top areas of focus for brand strategies and AI and AR virtual try-on technologies continue to offer unique solutions that help businesses today meet and prioritize their ESG goals.

Advanced fashion tech solutions for jewelry (including earrings, bracelets, rings, and luxury timepieces), eyewear, and accessories have been introduced, with plans to expand into clothing and apparel in the near future.



  5. A Demand for Cohesive Omni-Channel Beauty and Fashion Tech Experiences



    In order to maximize the impact of technology solutions, brands need to leverage AI and AR across all consumer touchpoints in order to meet consumers where they are.
