New Delhi, Sept 26 (KNN) Around 25-30 per cent of the e-commerce sales are expected to come from quick commerce platforms by FY25 for the e-commerce industry.

Speaking at an investors meet, Dabur India CEO Mohit Malhotra said,“E-commerce and modern trade is assuming huge importance. Within the e-commerce space, quick commerce's contribution is expected to be 25-30 per cent in two years.”

impulse purchases
but also for regular planned purchases.
