Quick Commerce Market Size in India
Scope it first — questions to ask
- · GMV or platform net revenue? — GMV (gross order value), the industry convention.
- · What counts as quick commerce? — Sub-30-minute instant delivery (Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart, bbnow, Flipkart Minutes); exclude food delivery and slotted e-grocery.
- · Which period? — Current-year annualized run-rate.
Assumptions on the table
- · Urban India ≈ 35% of 1.4B — census ballpark.
- · Dark-store networks are live only in the top ~50 cities, covering ~40% of the urban population.
- · ~30% of addressable adults in those cities transact in a month — QC is now mainstream among online-first metro users.
- · Actives order ~5 times a month at an AOV of ~₹400 — industry-reported AOVs cluster at ₹350–450 with weekly-groceries frequency.
