Shopping habits

set for change

Laura Smith

Shoppers of the future could pay for their groceries using fingerprint or iris-recognition technology, or even by having a payment chip inserted into their bodies, the latest information source on shopping and retail trends has found.

The research by food and grocery analysts IGD found that methods now seen as the stuff of science fiction are considered acceptable by a significant proportion of teenage and older shoppers alike.

One in five teenagers and adults surveyed say they would welcome the use of biometric payments, and 8% and 5% respectively were open to having a payment chip put into their body.
