The Outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic Induced Customers to Prefer Online Platforms in India

Published: Sep 2020

Indian food and grocery retail is expected to exhibit a rapid CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period (2020-2026). Increasing disposable income, growing economy, urbanization, and heavy investments in the retailing sector are some of the major factors contributing to the growth of the Indian food and grocery retail market. Moreover, increasing usage of online service among millennials is providing huge growth to the online food and grocery market in the country. The past decade has seen substantial changes in the retail and e-retail space in India owing to the takeovers and acquisitions of numerous small-scale retail chains by larger international and domestic players in the food and grocery retail vertical. The acquisition of Flipkart by the American retailing giant Walmart, Inc. for a payment of about $16 billion stands out as the biggest procurement by a foreign retailer in the country.
