Inc42 Datalabs projects India quick commerce GMV to grow 8X to $68 Bn by 2031 at 52% CAGR. Habit-led consumption is shifting brand strategy toward fill rates, dark store throughput and margins, with Blinkit's Q4 FY26 NOV up 95.4%.
Why this matters
Forecast lands as Blinkit retains category lead but recent signals flag cooling Q4 growth and normalization. Fuel hike pressures add near-term margin risk even as long-term GMV runway expands.
Retail-company theme steady with 346 signals in 90 days, reflecting sustained category momentum.
