Ecommerce sales in India, which is soon expected to become the most populous nation, are growing at one of the fastest rates in the world. But brick-and-mortar will still dominate the retail sector for the foreseeable future—we estimate that online sales will account for only 10.0% of total retail by 2027.
India is the fastest-growing major ecommerce market globally. But its enormous potential has yet to be tapped—the country’s digital ecosystem resembles that of China roughly 10 years ago. Amazon and Walmart-owned Flipkart dominate online sales and are evenly matched, but new entrant Reliance Retail is making things interesting.

KEY STAT: YoY total retail sales growth in India will settle into single digits—hitting 9.5% next year—while online sales will remain in double-digit territory until at least 2027.
