Summary · why it matters

Amazon will invest $3 billion to expand its quick commerce business in India by 2030, according to two sources cited by Reuters, in its biggest bet yet on a segment where local rivals have built a large lead in deliveries within minutes. The plan calls for $1 billion by the end of 2027 and another $2 billion by 2030. Amazon declined to comment on the investment figures but said its quick commerce business has passed $1 billion in annualized gross sales over the past three months, calling it the fastest-growing e-commerce business in Amazon India's history. The money will go mostly toward small neighborhood warehouses for its Amazon Now service, with a target of about 1,300 stores by April, up from roughly 750 today, and will also fund inventory software, AI demand forecasting and a wider product range focused on daily essentials. Domestic players Eternal's Blinkit, Swiggy and Zepto control 77% of India's quick commerce market with more than 4,500 stores between them, while Walmart's Flipkart holds 11%, according to Datum Intelligence, leaving Amazon with a 6.2% share of a sector currently worth $19 billion that is forecast to reach $41 billion by 2030.
