Many naysayers spout that
shoppers will not want to
miss the social experience

As emerging countries
populations move into
the middle class, there is
evidence that in some
developing regions of the
world, the supermarket
that westerners are
familiar with may never
exist. Instead those who
once shopped at rural,
small shops will shift their
shopping to online.
Access to global products
via mobile has
revolutionized tastes and
created new needs.
