Sensormatic Solutions predicts the busiest shopping days in Asia Pacific

Sensormatic Solutions, the global retail solutions portfolio of Johnson Controls, announced its predictions for the top busiest shopping days of the 2022 year-end shopping season around the world. For many countries in APAC, Christmas Day will be among the busiest shopping days. The annual predictions for the top busiest shopper traffic days are informed by retail traffic data analytics within the company’s intelligent operating platform, Sensormatic IQ.

“We expect a busy holiday season worlwide. Keeping up with demand, staffing appropriately, and having a complete view of operations will be crucial to delivering satisfying customer experiences as shopping peaks,” said Kevin Viravec, President, Sensormatic Solutions.

“The rise of truly unified commerce has boosted consumer expectations to new highs, and those expectations are likely to be even higher during the holidays. Now is the time for retailers to reflect on the experiences they’ve been delivering online and in-store so they can take steps to enhance their operations before the rush begins,” Kevin Viravec further said.

“For the APAC region, our forecast for the busiest shopping day this year is similar to last year, with Christmas still the strongest driver of shopping.
