AI insight
AI-generatedUK supermarkets (Morrisons, Co-op, Asda) are adopting electronic shelf labels (ESLs) enabling dynamic pricing, which could lead to price hikes during peak demand. This technology affects retail margins and consumer pricing power. The move comes amid rising UK inflation (CPI 3.3%) driven by food and drink prices, exacerbated by Middle East conflict.
