According to TAdviser, last year Russian retail faced a crisis that was the worst since 2015. Retail trade turnover fell by 6.7% to RUB 42.5 trillion. Among the main reasons are the reduction in the range of goods amid sanctions and a decline in the purchasing power of the population. At the same time, online retail, on the contrary, showed growth—by 38%, up to RUB 5.7 trillion.
Retail, as one of the digitalization leaders, was in the most difficult position due to the withdrawal of Western vendors. In 2022, there has been a decline in IT spending by retail companies and a freeze on many projects. At the same time, the demand for Russian software has increased. Enterprise resource planning systems proved to be the most demanded. ERP solutions accounted for the largest number of implemented projects.
