State of the E Tailing Market Q1-CY17- Executive Summary

Overall, Q1'17 (by studying Flipkart Gmv,Amazon Gmv) was a mixed bag for the industry- with flat performance in sales and customer growth, but with improvement in long term health indicators like unit economics, delivery performance and stakeholder satisfaction

  • The industry's lacklustre sales performance continued in Q1'17,
    with a limited y-o-y GMV growth of ~5%
  • The reason for limited growth was two fold–
    • Overall monthly active shoppers remained flat at around
      15-17 Mn- the negligible addition of new shoppers led to
      flat volume growth for the industry in this period
    • Higher e-tailer focus on high value categories meant that
      non-mobile high volume categories like fashion and
      FMCG took a backseat- again leading to limited repeat
      buying behaviour and thus flat volume growth for industry
  • On the positive side, unit economics continued to improve in
    Q1'17, primarily driven by lower marketing spends
  • Delivery performance also continued to become faster and more
    consistent. Coupled with better product assortment/quality and
    improved post-delivery experience, this saw the Consumer NPS
    for industry record a strong improvement y-o-y
  • Data was collected by studying Flipkart Business Model, Amazon Business Model etc.
