It’s a highly secure network that uses cryptography to store information in the form of encrypted transactions, that can’t be accessed easily until and unless he/she is the owner or has its key. It uses the concept of distributed digital ledger to store information on a decentralized network across the retail sector. The major factors driving the blockchain in retail market are upswing in the usage of blockchain technology to create transparent and decentralized supply chain systems, need to reduce the total cost of ownership, growing need to prevent data manipulation, and for increasing efficiency and speed in retail and supply chain systems.
Retail Sector is expected to grow at a Significant Rate
The blockchain carries a chain of block that stores the retail information in a distributed network over a geographical location, where each copy is the computer ledger that keeps a copy/information about the credit and debit of digital asset. Since the blocks are built tightly on top of each other, so it is impossible to tamper the previous entry in the ledger without any warning or alert, which makes it more secure for the transection across the retail units. The retail sector is registering as an increasing demand from the growing integration of automation with blockchain application, as it offers instant access and improved service quality for everything. Benefits, such as improvement in service quality and business optimization have led to an increased penetration of these technology.

Across the supply chain, it can be applied to anything from self-executing supply contracts to automated cold chain management. The major forces driving the growth of the blockchain market across the region include the need of transparency and immutability in transaction and consumer protection, along with money laundering regulations. Moreover, secure transaction and improved auditability reduced transaction and transaction settlement time, by removal of intermediaries and distributed database.
