APAC Retail Adopts Agentic AI Workflows
APAC retailers are moving AI from analytics pilots into operational workflows across stores, reported TechForge Media citing a Q4 2025 GlobalData survey showing 45 percent of Asia and Australasia consumers likely to buy from AI recommendations. Vendors and retailers including Lawson, Fainders.AI, and Soracom deploy computer-vision checkoutless stores, forecasting and replenishment tools, and agentic shopping assistants. These deployments aim to reduce labour, cut waste, and personalise shopping at scale.
