10 Fastest Growing Quick Commerce Markets in 2025
India is set to lead the quick commerce market in 2025 with a projected 17% growth rate, driven by increasing demand for instant grocery and personal care deliveries, urbanization, and smartphone adoption. Blinkit is expected to dominate with a 46% market share, competing with Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, and JioMart. The rise of dark stores is fueling this expansion, with India’s dark retail space projected to grow from 24 million sq. ft. in 2023 to 37.6 million sq. ft. in 2027. Employment in the sector is also surging, with 2.4 million blue-collar jobs anticipated by 2027, averaging a salary of ₹22,600 per month. Japan (9.3%), Germany (8.6%), France (8.5%), and China (8.3%) follow as the fastest-growing markets, with consumer preferences shifting toward groceries and ready-to-eat meals. By 2029, Japan's grocery delivery users will reach 51.9 million, while France’s market share for grocery delivery is expected to hit 28.3% by 2025. India’s grocery retail sales are forecasted to surge from ₹36 trillion in 2021 to ₹60 trillion by 2030. Despite this growth, competition from Amazon, Flipkart, and Reliance could reshape market dynamics.
