Online Grocery Market in India: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
The rapid growth in m-commerce is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as huge competition from offline retail stores may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key India Online Grocery Market Driver
The rapid growth in m-commerce is notably driving market growth. Apart from the growth in online web-based retail services, the online grocery market in India has also witnessed an increase in the adoption of mobile-based (or app-based) services or m-commerce. The growth in m-commerce is mostly attributed to the increased penetration of smartphones in India. Using mobile apps, consumers can shop from anywhere and in any situation, even when traveling.
The penetration of e-commerce is high in Indian metropolitan cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and in other places owing to the high adoption and use of laptops and desktops, which offers a high growth opportunity to online retailers due to the increasing demand for and use of m-commerce. Moreover, the popularity of m-commerce has motivated offline stores and e-commerce players to switch to these platforms. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the market in India during the forecast period.
Significant India Online Grocery Market Trend
The growth in demand for functional foods and beverages is an emerging trend in the market. The growing prevalence of obesity and other health conditions is encouraging health-conscious consumers to opt for food and beverage products that have various functional benefits. Consumers are ready to pay a premium price for products offering various functional and several other health-promoting benefits, such as reduced fat.
However, these products are not available in local grocery stores and even in large-scale supermarkets and hypermarkets. Vendors in the market are offering new products on their e-commerce platforms that are rich in nutrients and antioxidants and cater to the changing demands of consumers. A large number of functional foods and beverages are available in the market, owing to the increasing product launches by prominent brands and increasing consumer demand for these products. E-commerce platforms collaborate with these local and international brands and make these products available to consumers through their online platforms. Hence, such factors will drive the growth of the market in India during the forecast period.
Major India Online Grocery Market Challenge
The huge competition from offline retail stores is a major challenge impeding market growth. Offline grocery and brick-and-mortar retail stores, especially unorganized grocery retailers that mostly establish their shops in residential areas, are the major competitors of online grocery delivery service providers. In developing countries such as India, unorganized neighborhood grocery retailers offer various offers, services, and discounts to their customers. The services include the exchange of products that do not meet customers' expectations and free delivery at doorsteps.
Brick-and-mortar stores nowadays are switching to omnichannel retail strategies to compete with e-commerce players. They offer grocery ordering services through mobile apps and phone calls. They are also installing advanced sensors and maintaining customers' details along with their buying behavior and purchasing patterns to provide attractive offers and services to their customers. All these factors deter the growth of the market in India during the forecast period.
