Based on a survey of 2,004 diverse UK & Ireland consumers, proportionately representative of the population, this report explores how AI, increased price sensitivity, and more seamless commerce experiences are evolving the modern path to purchase.

The report explores why agentic commerce is moving from curiosity to behaviour, what shoppers trust agents to do, and how retailers can foster loyalty in such fast-changing times.
