The adoption of digital technologies helps businesses increase the overall efficiency of all operations, reduce operational costs, and minimize human errors.

The consumer goods market across South America is evolving rapidly as retailers are responding to consumer demand for convenience products by offering new budget-friendly retail options. In the past few years, the number of supermarkets in the region has increased, and the region has also observed the fastest growth in food demand. Having a significant penetration in the food retail sector, the supermarkets have triggered an upstream transformation of the vegetables and fruits marketing system. On the other hand, grocery retail sales per capita are considerably lower in the region compared to the developed markets. This is due to lower purchasing power and the occurrence of informal grocery retail, such as street vendors and informal markets. Walmart is the largest grocery retailer in the region. It operates a widespread variety of banners across South America, comprising hypermarkets, discounters, and supermarkets. Thus, the robust retail industry across the region is contributing to the growth of the SAM retail security tags market.
