Summary

This report is the result of ICD's extensive market research covering the online retail industry in India.

Key Highlights

India's retail market is dominated by unorganized domestic operators, however there is a huge potential for growth and development in the organized retail sector. Organized retailing is currently concentrated in metropolitan cities, but it is expected to extend to Tier II cities. The top six Indian cities contain X.X% of the population and contribute nearly XX–XX% of the GDP. Rapid economic growth has led to the Indian middle class earning larger incomes. Indians' disposable income is expected to increase at an average of 8.5% per annum until 2015. An increase in the amount of women who work, has also created more consumption and purchasing power.

There are differences between rural and urban Indian consumers. The relatively poor rural consumers are more price-sensitive, while richer urban consumers' purchasing habits and preferences are evolving towards a strong inclination for branded products, and are willing to spend more in consequence.

While online shopping in India is still at its emerging stage and only contributed X.X% towards total retail sales in 2010, India's massive population offers tremendous potential to online retailers. Central to its growth will be India's increasing middle class, constituting 288 million people. The online retail market has started serving a small base of consumers, however growth in the past decade has been very strong and this will continue in the forecast period.
