Grocery sector trends in 2025 show broad growth across all formats. Traditional grocers saw their first rebound since 2024, while value grocers — once leaders during the 2022–24 trade-down wave — are slowing. Fresh formats are growing the fastest, driven by affluent shoppers seeking health, wellness and convenience. Spending is increasingly polarized, with growth at both low-income (value) and high-income (fresh) ends. Short shopping trips are rising, benefiting fresh formats, while traditional grocers retain loyal stock-up customers. Value chains capture fill-in trips with private labels. Traditional players like H-E-B and Harris Teeter are adapting by tailoring strategies to local demographics and geographies.

Over the past several years, the United States has experienced significant domestic migration shifts, driven by factors like remote work, housing affordability, and regional economic opportunities. As some areas reap the benefits of population inflows, others grapple with outflows tied to higher living costs and evolving workplace dynamics.

This report dives into the location analytics to explore where Americans have moved since 2021 – and how these patterns began to change in 2024.

In 2025, consumers prioritize value-driven shopping, with thrift and off-price retailers gaining popularity across demographics. Flexible consumerism is on the rise, as shoppers seek

Given the rapidly evolving threat landscape, the importance of a centralized identity security program is vital for both human and machine identities. While other vaults and open-source tools have their merits, these on-premises tools often require costly skills and resources to host and maintain. Organizations may feel stuck supporting the open-source version and dealing with a siloed security experience due to upgrade challenges.

The good news is that you are not alone and there is a migration path to a centralized SaaS secrets management solution that fully integrates with the CyberArk Identity Security Platform. This webinar will demonstrate the steps others have taken to achieve this transition and highlight key security benefits and operational efficiencies that come with it.

Technology, like time, waits for no one. It propels forward at a rate independent of, and unconcerned with, anyone’s readiness. But it doesn’t move forward randomly or unexpectedly. In every case, the purpose of the digital revolution is to make our lives easier, to simplify the complicated, to save us time and allow us to focus on more important things.

We see evidence of this everywhere, every day, especially after the challenges of 2020. Through insistence and inevitability, technology has influenced our lives in ways that make us wonder how we ever lived without it. In the palm of our hands, we’re able to use it to perform tasks in seconds that used to take minutes, even hours.

A modern geographic information system (GIS), delivers location intelligence. It gives decision-makers and stakeholders access to risk analytics and real-time dashboards, striking map visualizations, and predictive simulations. It rolls location-based climate risk data into public-facing websites and compliance reports.

Most businesses and government organizations already employ location intelligence, relying on software and services from Esri, the worldwide leader in GIS technology. As a company known for its heavy focus on research and development, Esri prioritizes engineering technology and solutions and curating authoritative data to support resilience and sustainability initiatives. Recently, Esri was recognized with the highest possible score for climate risk analytics by independent research firm Forrester. The firm’s analysis cited Esri® technology for its advanced data processing,
visualization, and threat modeling capabilities.

A hospital uses sensor data to understand the locations of assets and patients. This tells staff if they are facing a shortage of beds or if more personnel need to be moved to the emergency room. Big-box retailers do something similar, noting where customers congregate in relation to specific offerings.

Federal programs allocate funds to address underinvestment in disadvantaged
communities. Cities and businesses use demographic data to understand racial
equity and make more equitable decisions about the delivery of services.

The ability to test future conditions will become increasingly important as climate change creates more volatility. Geospatial digital twins are now commonly used when planning infrastructure projects. They allow engineers to test the project against various future climate scenarios, with an eye on weather extremes.
