The growth of digital goods and services
From streaming platforms to health and fitness apps that personalize to their users, consumers today have access to a wide array of digital offerings. As per Deloitte’s Global Consumer Tracker, digital goods and services represent an estimated 3% of the US consumer’s wallet. While this could be humble beginnings, the increasing adoption of AI, cloud convergence, and other technologies are fueling the exponential growth of digital offerings. How should companies capitalize on this rising trend?
Tune in to this episode as our host, Bobby Stephens, along with Jen Brace, chief futurist, Ford Motor Company, and Alisa Locricchio, senior manager with Deloitte Consulting, discuss the growth of digital goods and services and the opportunities that lie ahead for consumer companies.
It starts by, of course, enabling some [digital offerings] in the vehicle … enabling those connections, having a vehicle that is connected to the cloud so that we can do things like push software updates digitally to a customer. And by doing that, what it also enables us to do is provide new experiences and features to a customer. So, it creates a pipeline when it comes to the way that we can introduce new goods and services to our customers.
