India's Quick Commerce Growth to Accelerate; Food Delivery and Fintech Show Steady Trends
India's quick commerce sector is projected to accelerate net order value growth to 21.6% quarter-on-quarter in Q2FY27, driven by consolidation and shifting demand due to higher minimum order values and reduced discounts. Food delivery platforms are expected to maintain steady year-on-year growth of around 18%, with competition intensifying during the festive season. The fintech sector anticipates steady revenue growth and improved profitability, though payment revenue may be affected by the shift in festive spending and new merchant discount rates on UPI transactions starting October 15.
