There are quite a number of limitations that online is exposed to, in terms of the basic functions of retailing and what it entails to the wider shopping public.

But also there are a number of underlying business fundamentals peculiar to each that will continue to strike a dividing line between the two; hence making brick and mortar hold its own ground.

I think we have seen the bottoming out of the large retail footprint which will gradually be replaced by smaller physical ‘showcases’ where Customers can interact with the physical product and then purchase online.
