Quick Commerce Drives Up To 75% Of Online Sales for Leading FMCG Companies

 Ten-minute delivery platforms are rapidly changing the sales strategy of India’s consumer goods companies, with quick commerce now contributing the majority of online revenue for several major FMCG brands as shoppers increasingly shift toward faster and more frequent digital purchases. 

FMCG Companies See Sharp Jump In Quick Commerce Dependence 

Leading companies including Dabur India Limited, Britannia Industries Limited, Tata Consumer Products Limited, ITC Limited, Parle Products Private Limited and AWL Agri Business Limited are now generating between 60% and 75% of their online sales through quick commerce platforms. 

For Dabur India, the contribution from quick commerce rose to 75% in the March quarter compared with 50% in the previous quarter. 

Britannia Industries and Tata Consumer Products now derive more than 70% of their online sales from this channel, while Parle Products and AWL Agri Business reported quick commerce contributions of 65% in FY26. 

ITC Limited generated 58% of its digital sales through quick commerce platforms during the fiscal year. 

Consumer Behaviour Shift Reshaping Retail Channels 

Industry executives said the rapid adoption of instant delivery services is changing grocery purchasing patterns, with consumers increasingly placing smaller but more frequent orders instead of larger planned purchases. 

The shift is also affecting traditional retail channels including ecommerce marketplaces, modern trade stores and neighbourhood kirana outlets. 

Mayank Shah, Vice-President of Parle Products, said the expansion of players such as BigBasket, Amazon, Flipkart and Reliance Retail Limited into rapid delivery services is intensifying competition in the segment. 

According to Shah, consumer preference for convenience and immediate replenishment has made quick commerce one of the strongest growth drivers in the retail sector. 

Expansion Beyond Metro Cities Accelerates Growth 

Quick commerce, initially concentrated in the top metro markets, is now expanding aggressively into smaller cities and towns. 

Operators including Blinkit, Zepto and Swiggy Instamart are rapidly increasing their footprint outside major urban centres. 

Most FMCG companies reported annual growth of 70% to 100% in quick commerce sales during FY26, making it the fastest-growing sales channel for the sector over the last few years.
