Abstract

Стаття присвячена оцінці сучасного стану вітчизняного ритейлу та виявленню впливу на його розвиток формування метапростору. Дослідження базувалося на вивченні статистичних та аналітичних матеріалів, наукових публікацій вітчизняних та зарубіжних дослідників, використанні методів динамічного аналізу, систематизації та логічного узагальнення, аналізу та синтезу. Проаналізовано показники роздрібної торгівлі в Україні. Встановлено, що в сучасному турбулентному середовищі підприємства ритейлу повинні постійно шукати шляхи вдосконалення власної діяльності та підвищення ефективності. Ритейлерам доцільно орієнтуватися на сучасні мегатренди, одним з яких є формування метапростору. Визначено причини виникнення мегатренду до формування метапростору та напрями потенційного впливу цього мегатренду на ритейл. Objective. The article is devoted to assessing the current state of domestic retail and identifying the impact on its development of the formation of metaverse, as a megatrend, caused by a number of fundamental changes in the economy and society.

The use of the dynamic analysis method allowed to identify the main patterns of the functioning of retail trade in Ukraine. To argue the attribution of the process of metaverse formation to the most relevant megatrends and determine its conditionality by a number of global transformations, methods of systematization and logical generalization were used.
