Quick commerce is no longer just quick; it is getting seriously busy. India’s six major quick-commerce platforms are now processing around 9.5 million orders a day in August, according to Datum Intelligence, a market research industry, putting the category on track to handle between 286 million and 314 million orders in a 30-day period.
Blinkit remains the market leader, processing an estimated 3.4 million to 3.6 million orders daily and accounting for 36.7% of the combined market. Zepto follows with 2.4 million to 2.6 million orders a day, giving it a 26.2% share, while Swiggy Instamart accounts for 14.4%, with daily volumes estimated at 1.3 million to 1.45 million.
Together, the three leaders command roughly 77% of daily order volumes across the six platforms. But the rest of the field is getting increasingly crowded.
Flipkart Minutes has crossed 1 million orders a day, translating into a 10% share. Amazon Now is estimated to process 600,000 to 700,000 orders daily, while BigBasket handles around 500,000 to 600,000.
In March 2025, Blinkit, Zepto and Swiggy Instamart together were estimated to process 4.15 million to 4.45 million orders a day, while the top five platforms handled around 4.8 million daily orders.
The latest August figures suggest that leading-platform volumes have risen sharply in little over a year, while the competitive pecking order has also started to shift.
Zepto has also moved ahead of Swiggy Instamart in daily orders while, Flipkart Minutes and Amazon Now have moved beyond being peripheral challengers, each building sizable daily volumes.
