Expansion Impact

- RAGHAV AGGARWAL

THE QUICK COMMERCE companies in India are likely to report higher losses in the January-March quarter as compared to October-December quarter, owing to higher costs to tackle rising competition in the sector, according to analysts.

"Most investors expect Q4 quick commerce losses to be higher than Q3," BofA Securities said in a recent note.

Analysts suggest that the sector has moved from being a 3-operator market to 7-operators one. In the past few quarters, it has seen the entry of new players like Flipkart, Amazon, BigBasket and Reliance. This has pushed the older players to invest heavily towards expanding their assortment, increasing the number of dark stores and spending towards marketing.
