2017 UPS Pulse of the Online Shopper-A Mobile Mindset

Mobile matters more than ever for consumers and retailers as it’s projected to become a $250 billion market by 2020, with U.S. mobile retail sales accounting for 48.5% of retail e-commerce sales.1 As of November, 2016, more users are accessing the internet from mobile devices than desktop computers2 which is an unprecedented shift already having a significant impact on shopping.

In terms of discretionary spending, mobile commerce (m-commerce) growth is far outpacing e-commerce and brick-and-mortar.3 Over the past five years shoppers have simply become more comfortable using their mobile devices to research and buy online resulting in more time and money channeled via m-commerce. The projections for continued growth in m-commerce make it essential that retailers of all sizes be properly positioned to provide an optimal experience via mobile devices.

UPS Smarter Specimen Logistics

Between now and 2020, IVD testing will increase by $20 billion1. Demographic changes, greater focus on preventive care, and other healthcare trends are driving higher demand for lab services. But, to capitalize on the emerging opportunities, you will need to provide levels of speed, efficiency, and reliability that your competitors can’t match.

Reimbursement rates are lower, creating powerful cost pressures for labs. In turn, those pressures drive a need to improve efficiency. But the clinical need for specimen integrity remains paramount. What cost-effective transportation options exist for the diagnostics industry that don’t put specimen stability on the line? And what can give you a competitive edge when you’re under pressure to do more with less?
