Is the US ready for AI—or just talking about it?
According to Statista, the US AI market is expected to surpass US$309.70bn by 2031, illustrating an annual growth rate (CAGR 2025-2031) of 26.95%. But growth on paper doesn’t always translate to action on the ground. In the retail space especially, businesses are still figuring out how to apply AI in ways that actually improve outcomes.
One leading US retailer found itself in that exact position. Interest in AI was high across teams, but direction was missing. Without a shared understanding of where the market stood, and what was realistically possible, they risked investing blindly. That’s when they turned to Netscribes.

The goal was to understand how AI was being used across different retail segments, what was slowing adoption, and where real opportunities lay.
We combined this intelligence with data modeling techniques to break down market potential into clear, business-relevant findings. The result wasn’t just another strategy document. It was a working guide that answered what to do, where to focus, and what to watch out for.
