Summary
In spite of a 67% decline in funding and a 62% drop in deal count in Q1 2023, the future for Indian ecommerce looks strong as its adoption rate is increasing across the country. Ecommerce has not yet reached its full potential in Tier 2 and 3 cities, and companies are now coming up with differentiated strategies to cater to these locations.
The ecommerce industry is rapidly expanding, and the Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) subsector is making significant strides in the market. In Q1 2023, D2C emerged as the most funded subsector within ecommerce, receiving 87% of investor funds. It has also seen the highest number of deal counts, reflecting the growing interest of investors in D2C businesses
Meanwhile, “cross-border ecommerce" is expected to be a significant growth driver for Indian ecommerce startups, with a market opportunity for global B2C cross-border estimated to be $5.9 Tn by 2030. This route allows ecommerce startups to reach a larger consumer base and offer more diversified consumer experiences. Nevertheless, cross border has certain challenges as it requires significant capital investment, efficient logistics inventory management, and compliance with regulations.
