Quick Commerce Platforms Drive Growth in Premium Beauty and Personal Care Sales
Quick commerce platforms like Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart are rapidly growing channels for beauty and personal care (BPC) products in India, with annualized sales nearing $1 billion and a 90% year-on-year increase. Premium and mid-premium products account for 59% of spending on these platforms, higher than the overall market. Legacy brands dominate quick commerce, being significantly larger than digitally native brands. The sector currently represents about 5% of India's BPC market, expected to grow to 10-12% by 2031, offering opportunities for new brands after establishing trust elsewhere.
