Online grocery shopping was the luxury of the few owning smartphones and with access to online payment channels. The process is seamless with items being delivered within a specific period and options of paying it instantly or to the delivery person. The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought economies worldwide at a standstill with majority of supply and chain routes being stopped to decelerate the spread of the virus. Market Research Future (MRFR) identifies causes and preventive measures to be taken by major players for the period of 2020 to 2026 (forecast period).
Market Scope
The global online grocery market is projected to gain a constant stream of revenue during the forecast period due to guidelines outlined by governments worldwide to not gather at a particular place. Social distancing has been prescribed at all essential places combined with extra precautions as a preventive measure against COVID-19. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, e-commerce sales were valued to exceed USD 32 trillion in 2019. This has led to online stores putting pressure on its employees to cater to the growing online demand.
Contactless deliveries are on the rise with most ecommerce stores practicing pick and drop policies to minimize the spread of infection. Hyperlocal deliveries are being allowed by online stores to ensure customers get their essentials. These stores are ready to pick up deliveries from nearby stores as well. Drone deliveries have the potential to assist online stores but only with the relaxation of policies.
Restrictions on exports and imports of essential items can hamper the global online grocery market growth.
