UK AI in Retail Market Growth Factors

Retailers are adopting AI virtual assistants to offer customers an innovative online shopping experience. AI virtual assistants can recommend products to customers based on their interests and trends and integrate with existing services and social media. For example, in 2025 Mango launched Mango Stylist, an AI-based virtual stylist assistant for womenswear in nine territories (including the UK), that makes recommendations and integrates with Mango's after-sales assistant, Iris.

With more HFSS regulations being introduced, retailers began to use AI-driven solutions. In 2025, ShopAi launched TalkPack, the first conversational AI platform in the UK to utilize QR codes. TalkPack helps HFSS brands comply with laws coming in 2026. TalkPack is a conversation intelligence and digital marketing performance modeling system for ASA-compliant and scalable consumer interactions.

AI-driven tools, such as real time product finders, help customers navigate and shop at busy times, driving customer satisfaction. In 2025, Morrisons partnered with Google Cloud to produce a Morrisons AI Product Finder, powered by Gemini AI models and Google Cloud services. The tool, which gave customers the aisle location and product location, was used 50000 times at Easter.
