Remarkably, brick-and-mortar sales growth outpaced e-commerce growth for the first time in 2021 (Forbes, 2022). This demonstrates how much customers still want the in-person purchasing experience. But physical establishments run the risk of slipping behind if they don't adjust to the internet world, including by providing click-and-collect options.
In recent years, e-commerce has grown at an exponential rate. Global e-retail sales are predicted by Statista to reach USD 6.5 trillion by 2023, making up more than 22% of all retail sales. In emerging nations like India, where smartphone usage and internet penetration are rising quickly, this trend is especially noticeable.
Instant Delivery: A Revolution in Retail

This will put it ahead of other markets, including China, in terms of the adoption of quick commerce.

Conclusion:
Businesses need to be competitive as the retail industry changes and adjusts to shifting consumer tastes and technological improvements. Although e-commerce and rapid delivery services have unheard-of development prospects, these business models' viability depends on tackling regional obstacles and making investments in creative solutions. Retailers may prosper in a world that is becoming more digitally and globally integrated by embracing innovation and comprehending the distinctive dynamics of various markets.
