‘Q-Comm Cos Preying on Other Retail Channels to Drive Growth'
HighlightsOnly 6–8 per cent of sales on quick commerce platforms are truly incremental, with most growth occurring at the expense of modern trade and ecommerce. Quick commerce platforms, such as Zepto, Blinkit, and Instamart, are generating limited new demand and are primarily taking market share from other sales channels. Despite quick commerce being the fastest-growing sales channel, it still accounts for only 3-6 per cent of overall sales for most consumer goods firms in India. Only 6–8 per cent of sales on quick commerce platforms are truly incremental, while most of the channel's growth comes at the expense of other formats—primarily modern trade and ecommerce, followed by local kiranas, according to a report by Kearney. This is despite supermarkets and ecommerce platforms offering the steepest discounts to shoppers—typically in the range of 13–18 per cent, compared to 6–9 per cent on quick commerce and 2–5 per cent on kiranas or general trade, said the report exclusively shared with ET. Industry officials agreed that platforms such as Zepto , Blinkit , and Instamart are generating little in terms of new or additional demand. 'Quick commerce is taking some share from marketplaces, they are taking some share from general trade," said Saugata Gupta , managing director of Marico, maker of Parachute oil and Saffola cooking oil. To reduce ' cannibalistic sales ,' the company needs to 'ensure that we have a tailor-made portfolio to drive offtake, and not just give price discounting,' he added. While quick commerce started off as a top-up service for last-minute purchases for groceries and small-ticket items, it is now the fastest-growing sales channel, especially for premium portfolios. The contribution of quick commerce to ecommerce sales has been doubling every year, although on a small base. It roughly accounts for between 3-6 per cent of overall sales for most consumer goods firms in the country.

Eternal surges as foreign broker reaffirms bullish view
Shares of food aggregator Eternal (formerly Zomato) surged 5.54% to Rs 259.10, extending their two-day rally to 9.05%. Over the past year, it has risen 40.81%. Fueling the momentum was a foreign brokerage firm reaffirming its Overweight rating on the stock, while maintaining a target price of Rs 320. The brokerage called Eternal a top pick, citing its dominance in food delivery and quick commerce, a lean cost structure that supports better unit economics than peers, and a solid balance sheet that minimizes the risk of future equity dilution. It also believes the risk-reward remains attractive, with downside support likely around Rs 200-Rs 220. Eternal, an Indian multinational technology company, is the parent company of Zomato, Blinkit, District and Hyperpure. It reported 78% fall in consolidated net profit to Rs 39 crore on a 64% increase in revenue from operations to Rs 5,833 crore in Q4 FY25 over Q4 FY24.

Quick commerce growth cannibalising other retail channels, says Kearney report
Mumbai: Only 6-8% of sales on quick commerce platforms are truly incremental, while most of the channel's growth comes at the expense of other formats-primarily modern trade and ecommerce, followed by local kiranas, according to a report by Kearney. This is despite supermarkets and ecommerce platforms offering the steepest discounts to shoppers-typically in the range of 13-18%, compared to 6-9% on quick commerce and 2-5% on kiranas or general trade, said the report exclusively shared with ET. Industry officials agreed that platforms such as Zepto , Blinkit , and Instamart are generating little in terms of new or additional demand. "Quick commerce is taking some share from marketplaces, they are taking some share from general trade," said Saugata Gupta, managing director of Marico , maker of Parachute oil and Saffola cooking oil. To reduce "cannibalistic sales," the company needs to "ensure that we have a tailor-made portfolio to drive offtake, and not just give price discounting," he added. While quick commerce started off as a top-up service for last-minute purchases for groceries and small-ticket items, it is now the fastest-growing sales channel, especially for premium portfolios. The contribution of quick commerce to ecommerce sales has been doubling every year, although on a small base. It roughly accounts for between 3-6% of overall sales for most consumer goods firms in the country. Before the entry of quick commerce companies, only about one-third of shoppers in top metros favoured online platforms for their daily shopping. Today, 87% people in these cities shop online, highlighting a major consumer shift helped by convenience and instant gratification that quick commerce provides, the Kearney report noted. However, the shift is not consistent across all categories. "In the initial growth phase, food categories have seen the highest migration, with staples leading adoption-challenging the notion that quick commerce is primarily for top-up purchases," said Siddharth Jain, partner at Kearney. However, the shift in fresh produce is lower-indicating that consumers still prefer to handpick such items, he noted. "Adoption in categories such as personal care and electronics is also lower, likely because of the limited assortment offered by quick commerce platforms in their early stages." Kearney expects the quick commerce grocery market to grow threefold between 2024 and 2027, reaching about ₹1.5 lakh crore to ₹1.7 lakh crore and extending to all towns with a population of 500,000 or more by then. Consumer companies also expect the segment to continue its growth. "It's growing because there's a three-cornered fight between the three big players in that space," Varun Berry, vice-chairman of biscuits major Britannia Industries , told investors. "And I think there are certain categories where it even becomes 30% and 35%." The industry is largely controlled by Zepto, Zomato's Blinkit and Swiggy Instamart even as top ecommerce players including Flipkart and Amazon have entered the segment. Last week, Coca-Cola global chief operating officer Henrique Braun said India has accelerated tremendously in digitisation. "One of the things that was, to me, an eye opener as well, in terms of another channel that's developing here is the quick commerce that is very unique to India. It's accelerating... Every time I come in, it's bigger," he said. Earlier this year, Unilever global CEO Fernando Fernandez said he expects the channel to contribute 10-15% sales in India in the next three-four years, from 2-3% at present. "India is a very special place because richer Indians and poorer Indians live in close proximity that basically provide demand and supply of labour, making quick commerce a logical channel to grow," he said.
