Quick Delivery Commerce Market Trends

Quick Delivery Commerce Market Driver

• Consumer preferences have shifted dramatically in recent years. Urbanization, smaller households, busier lifestyles, and an aging population have all resulted in an increased demand for faster, more convenient shopping options. Instead of buying groceries and household goods in bulk - the foundation of traditional retail and eCommerce - shoppers now prefer to shop for smaller ticket items and fewer goods in real-time as and when they need them. This behavior gave rise to instant delivery, which allowed individuals to receive 1-2 products within minutes of placing an order. And, as instant delivery becomes more popular, consumers' willingness to wait 3-5 days for their deliveries has begun to decline, paving the way for quick commerce to become its retail segment. These factors are expected to drive the global instant delivery market over the forecast year.

While eCommerce has progressed from one-week to 1–2-day delivery timelines, Instant Delivery is taking shopping to a whole new level by offering small orders in minutes. As more consumers become accustomed to this mode of shopping, more categories such as pet supplies, fashion, consumer electronics, and accessories may enter this market. With Millennials and Gen Z shoppers quickly adopting newer, more convenient shopping methods, instant delivery could be the next big thing in retail. These factors are expected to accelerate the market demand for Quick Delivery Commerce over the forecast year.
