India D2C eCommerce Platforms Market Size, Trends & Analysis - Forecasts to 2029 By Type (Apparel and Footwear, Grocery and Gourmet, Personal Care, Home Decor and Household, Supplies, Healthcare, and Jewellery), Competitive Landscape, Company Market Share Analysis, and End User Analysis
The India D2C ecommerce platforms market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 33.2% from 2024 to 2029.
Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) eCommerce in India has grown as internet connections have increased and smartphones have become more widely available. As online purchasing platforms become more accessible, consumers are increasingly engaging in digital transactions. This trend is transforming the retail landscape, underlining the need for direct-to-consumer approaches to responding to changing consumer preferences.
The increasing use of digital payment methods such as mobile wallets, UPI (Unified Payments Interface), and other online solutions has greatly improved the convenience of online transactions for consumers. This trend has significantly boosted the Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) eCommerce business. The convenience and efficiency of digital payments contribute to a more seamless purchasing experience, resulting in higher customer engagement and transactions in the D2C sector. According to the Reserve Bank of India, in 2023, UPI accounted for nearly 80% of digital payments, showcasing its dominance in the market.
Changing consumer preferences, marked by a shift towards online shopping and a desire for personalized, high-quality products, have spurred the emergence of Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) brands. These brands, attuned to specific niches, capitalize on the demand for unique offerings. The evolving landscape reflects a preference for a direct relationship with brands, emphasizing the importance of D2C models in meeting the distinct tastes and preferences of consumers seeking individualized and premium experiences.
Direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands excel at using digital marketing tools to connect with their target audience. Leveraging effective strategies, they harness the power of social media platforms and influencers for impactful promotion. These platforms serve as dynamic channels for brand visibility and engagement. By capitalizing on the influence of social media and key personalities, D2C brands successfully create and sustain a strong online presence, fostering connections and driving consumer interest in their products and offerings.
However, inefficient logistics and supply chain infrastructure can cause delays, increased prices, and issues fulfilling orders, stifling the expansion of D2C eCommerce.
The apparel and footwear segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market. The expected growth of the segment is due to rising customer interest in fashion, the convenience of online purchasing, and the increased availability of the Internet and cell phones. Furthermore, increasing internet penetration and smartphone usage further facilitate online shopping, making it the preferred mode for purchasing fashion items.
The personal care segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market from 2024-2029. The growth is attributed to the shifting customer preferences for self-care and grooming goods. Furthermore, growing awareness of health and hygiene, along with the availability of a varied selection of personal care items through eCommerce platforms, is anticipated to drive the segment growth.
Mamaearth (Honasa Consumer Private Limited), BoAt lifestyle (Imagine Marketing Services Pvt. Ltd.), Licious (Delightful Gourmet Pvt Ltd.), Melorra, SUGAR Cosmetics, Noise, Bewakoof Brands Pvt. Ltd., Country Delight, Nykaa E-Retail Pvt. Ltd, and Wakefit Innovations Pvt. Ltd., among others, are some of the key players operating in the India D2C ecommerce platforms market.
Please note: This is not an exhaustive list of companies profiled in the report.
In December 2023, Indian D2C jewelry brand Melorra expanded its retail presence by opening a new store in Lajpat Nagar 2, New Delhi. The store features over 18,000 gold and diamond jewelry designs reflecting the latest fashion trends. Melorra, aiming to reach USD 1 billion in sales, plans to open more than 400 stores over the next five years.
In March 2022, Licious, a Bengaluru-based startup specializing in selling fresh meat, seafood, and other animal protein products online, secured an additional USD 150 million from late-stage investors, signaling a potential move toward an initial public offering (IPO). The company's success underscores the growing trend of direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands in India, particularly in the meat and seafood category, which traditionally faced challenges due to being unorganized and underserved.
