Interesting data-points
The sector is poised to rise 53% from its existing $111 billion in FY23 to a pupil-dilating $170 billion by the time we reach 2026, ensuring a healthy CAGR of 15%, which remarkably outperforms the secular retail sector's estimated 10% CAGR.

Growth kickers?

Regulatory hurdles:
Complex regulations and licensing procedures can create entry barriers for new players.
Despite these challenges, the future of non-food and grocery retail in India appears bright.
By addressing these odds and capitalizing on the growth drivers, the sector is all set to play a pivotal role in India's economic development.
