Blinkit, Zomato's quick commerce unit, valued at $13B, now eclipses the core food delivery valued at $11.4B. Goldman Sachs highlights Blinkit's potential and growth.
Zomato acquired Blinkit for under $600M in 2022, transitioning focus to quick commerce. Blinkit’s valuation skyrocketed from $2B in March 2023 to $13B by April 2024, indicating a shift in Zomato's strategic priorities.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a 53% CAGR for Blinkit from 2024 to 2027. India's quick commerce sector remains vibrant, driven by high urban population density and competitive delivery economics, making Blinkit a key player.
India’s quick commerce benefits from unique market conditions: a large unorganized retail sector and favorable demographics. These factors allow Blinkit to provide fast service and competitive prices, crucial for their growth.
Despite stiff competition from Swiggy’s Instamart and Zepto, Blinkit's innovative approach keeps it at the forefront. Expected to achieve EBITDA breakeven by mid-2024, Blinkit's strategy could reshape the market dynamics.
Will Blinkit redefine India's retail scene?
