Likely next moves
Our read of what comes next — analysis, not reported by the source.
- The leading quick commerce platforms are likely to widen non-grocery assortment, such as electronics, beauty, home and gifting, to capture the segment the report sizes at USD 21-27 billion by FY31.
- Large e-commerce and omni-channel retailers are likely to extend or deepen their own fast-delivery offerings, so that they do not cede the 100 million-plus monthly transacting user base.
- Consumer brands may redirect more of their trade and advertising budgets to quick commerce platforms, and some may launch pack sizes or exclusive ranges built for the channel.
- Investors and lenders are likely to keep funding scale players while pressing harder on unit economics and path to profitability as the market is pitched at USD 90 billion.
- Regulators and competition authorities may step up scrutiny of dark-store operations, pricing practices and platform-brand relationships as the channel grows.
