Online grocery shopping is a convenient way of ordering and delivering food and household necessities through mobile applications and commerce-based websites. It aids consumers in placing orders online and easily scheduling home deliveries directly from local stores or third-party e-retailing organizations. It allows consumers to browse through a variety of products, place orders, and pay through several payment methods, such as debit or credit cards, cash-on-delivery, and net banking, and flexible return/exchange policies. As a result, it offers anytime access and enhanced ease and convenience of shopping a wide range of grocery products to the users.
Global Online Grocery Market Trends:
The rising penetration of high-speed internet connectivity majorly drives the global market. This can be supported by the escalating number of smartphone users due to rapid digitization across the globe. Coupled with this, consumers are increasingly seeking convenience and the ability to shop for groceries online from the comfort of their own homes, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Since online grocery is cost-effective when compared to traditional grocery shopping, this is catalyzing its demand on the global level. With the sudden outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), followed by the mandatory lockdown restrictions, various e-commerce websites introduced contactless delivery services to ensure the safe delivery of grocery products as adequate social distancing measures, thus propelling the overall online grocery market. Apart from this, online grocery stores are leveraging numerous social media platforms and utilizing targeted ads to increase their reach and engage with potential customers, which is creating a positive market outlook. Moreover, several key players are integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with drones and robots to offer door-step deliveries, which is anticipated to contribute to the growth of the market in the upcoming years. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach USD 6,590.9 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 28.09% during 2025-2033.
