In today’s segment on Ian King Live, the discussion focused on two pivotal topics shaping consumer habits and business strategies alike. First, Ian King explored the ongoing challenge of food inflation and its impact on the average weekly shop. With prices continuing to squeeze household budgets, NIQ’s Head of Retailer and Business Insight, Mike Watkins, shared the latest data revealing a shift in consumer behavior—more people are opting to shop in supermarkets rather than online, seeking deals and making more intentional purchasing decisions.

Adding a technological perspective to the conversation, Dexory’s CEO and Co-founder, Andrei Danescu, joined Ian King to discuss how robotics and automation are transforming supply chain management. Highlighting Dexory’s innovative approach, Andrei emphasized the role of automation in driving efficiency, reducing costs, and adapting to fluctuating consumer demands. The discussion also touched on Dexory’s recent $80 million Series B funding round, which aims to accelerate advancements in AI-powered solutions and expand operations globally.
