I had a great conversation with Toby Pickard from IGD.
We talked all things online grocery, but also took a look at quick commerce, which is set to outperform the wider channel, making it the fastest-growing sector in UK grocery retail.
By 2031, quick commerce is forecast to account for 15% of total online grocery sales, driven by significant investment from retailers to expand geographic coverage, extend operating hours and cater to a broader range of shopping missions.
Quick commerce is expected to become an increasingly important part of the grocery landscape as retailers continue to enhance convenience and speed for shoppers.
