Approximately $850 billion is spent annually on goods by Indians, of which $550 billion is spent on food and groceries alone.
But grocery shopping is no longer done with a preplanned schedule. The way that consumers behave has fundamentally changed. This increasing trend no longer has the taste for incumbents. Quick commerce generated $100 million in income in December 2021 (https://restofworld.org/2022/quick-commerce-is-reshaping-user-behavior-in-india-and-thats-a-problem/), with only three cities accounting for 70% of this total.
Furthermore, the Indian Quick Commerce market is expected to reach a valuation of $5.5 billion by 2025, a fifteen-fold increase from its current size, and it will lead other economies, including China, in terms of client acceptance. little steps that lead to the bigger picture. India's entire addressable market for speedy commerce is currently valued at approximately $45 billion.
This shift is fueled by Dunzo, which provides a quicker, more affordable, simpler, and superior method of grocery shopping. The revolution in fast trade has started.

In India, the eGrocery market has a TAM of 293B USD! Let’s look at that calculation.
As a fairly early-stage offering in this market, Dunzo is still only able to service the Tier 1 audience and is aiming at a smaller TAM within this overall pie. Since we do not have the $ value data for spending across households - We will calculate Dunzo’s TAM using # of households.
Conditions | 2020 | 2025 |
---|---|---|
Current Households | 130M | 210M |
Tier - 1 Household | 52M | 84M |
Convenience First Households | 20M | 32M |
Hence Dunzo’s 2020 TAM for households is 20M and will grow to 32M with linear market growth.
