A smart shopping cart is a high-tech variation of the standard shopping cart used in retail establishments. Sensors, cameras, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), IoT (Internet of Things), and artificial intelligence are just a few of the technologies it uses to improve the shopping experience for customers and benefit both retailers and consumers. The world's adoption of smart shopping carts has increased due to features like contactless shopping, promotions and offers, real-time product information, navigation assistance, personalized recommendations, virtual shopping lists, checkout and payment, automatic item scanning, and customer insights for retailers. 

The growing retail space is one of the main factors propelling the consumer shopping cart market's growth. Globally, the market for consumer shopping carts is expanding due to the rise in retail establishments, especially supermarkets and hypermarkets. Due to rapid urbanization and economic growth, the retail industry is expanding globally. The majority of consumer shopping cart producers sell their wares through a range of national, international, and local hypermarkets and supermarkets. Shopping carts for consumers are provided by several large supermarket and hypermarket chains, including SPAR, 7-Eleven, Walmart, Aldi, and Carrefour. A few of these retail establishments are attempting to become more globally recognized. With the continued growth of retail channels, there should be a significant increase in the sale of consumer shopping carts.

The consumer shopping cart market will face significant challenges due to fluctuations in raw material prices. The profit margins of companies that produce shopping carts for consumers have fluctuated over the last few years. The primary cause of this is the varying cost of raw materials. Steel, aluminium, and plastic are among the most often used raw materials in the production of consumer shopping carts. Numerous factors have caused price fluctuations for some of these raw materials since the most recent financial crisis.  

The fast growth of the COVID-19 pandemic impeded the adoption of intelligent shopping carts due to competing demands, security concerns, and financial limitations. The pandemic has forced people to cut back on in-person interactions, which has raised demand for contactless shopping. As customers grew more cautious about touching surfaces, smart shopping carts offered a way to scan items and make payments without interacting with store personnel or traditional checkout systems. Smart shopping carts reduce the risk of transmission by allowing customers to shop without physically touching surfaces or store employees. The growing focus on hygiene and safety also encouraged innovation among smart cart manufacturers.
