India's next e-commerce war will have multiple winners, not one, as q-commerce expands the market
Analysis argues Blinkit, Amazon and Flipkart can coexist as instant delivery matures. Amazon India marketplace revenue grew from Rs 2,300 cr to Rs 30,000 cr (FY16-FY25) and Flipkart from Rs 2,000 cr to Rs 20,000 cr, with incumbents launching Amazon Now and Flipkart Minutes to counter q-commerce.
Analysis argues India's e-commerce and quick-commerce markets will support multiple winners, not a monopoly. Blinkit can coexist with Amazon and Flipkart as instant delivery, incumbents' Amazon Now and Flipkart Minutes, and improving q-commerce unit economics expand the market.
Why this matters
Reinforces recent analysis that India's next e-commerce war has no single winner, with players carving distinct niches. Comes as Blinkit widens its q-commerce lead, adding 2.7M weekly users to reach 55.2M per CLSA.
