Retail Display Trends to Watch in 2025
As retail display environments evolve, so do the displays that shape them. In 2025, the focus is shifting toward smarter design, sustainability, and creating deeper customer connections. At Dicon Display, we’ve seen firsthand how versatile materials like wood, wire, and acrylic are being reimagined to meet these changing expectations. Here are some key display trends retailers should watch this year.
Natural Materials with a Purpose
Shoppers are craving authenticity—and that’s showing up in material choices. Expect to see more wood-based retail displays, especially those that emphasize texture, warmth, and sustainability. Whether it’s reclaimed wood or carefully finished oak, the organic feel of wood is connecting with customers on an emotional level. As a material we work with often at Dicon, wood continues to offer both durability and style.
Transparency and Minimalism Through Acrylic
Acrylic displays are trending for their sleek look and ability to spotlight products without distraction. Retailers are using acrylic to create clean, floating product shelves, transparent risers, and modular setups. Acrylic’s popularity is rising in both minimalist and luxury retail spaces—and it’s a material Dicon Display often incorporates for brands that want a modern, high-end feel.
Wire is Making a Statement Again
Wire isn’t just practical—it’s getting a design upgrade. In 2025, we’re seeing wire used not only for structural support but as a design element in its own right. Think geometric frames, airy shelving, and industrial-modern hybrids that offer strength without visual clutter. It’s a trend that blends well with mixed materials and can often be seen in the custom wire work we create.
