Title : What is the importance of Online Grocery Delivery? One of the critical sectors of the vast and ever-increasing Indian economy is the retail sector. Over 10% of India's GDP is accountable to the retail industry. Out of that, the automated grocery delivery business industry is one of the essential parts of the retail sector. The new generation is busier than ever, and they are always on the go and rarely have the time to walk into a physical store to do grocery shopping. Coupled with this is another fact: the younger generation is tech-savvy. These reasons make it convenient for the new generation to have on-demand grocery delivery solutions at hand. Shopping online for groceries is hassle-free and saves a lot of time, and studies have shown that it is also easier on the pocket. Impact of Covid-19 on the Automated Grocery Delivery Business Industry Towards the start of 2020, an unknown virus spread across the world like wildfire. As an ever-increasing number of people got infected, countries worldwide announced lockdowns that restricted people's movement. As we got confined to our homes, shopping for just about anything, mainly groceries, became difficult. It became a health concern to walk into a supermarket to shop for groceries, and implementing a contactless delivery system became the need of the hour. Online grocery shopping is safe and follows social distancing rules. As a significant workforce population started working from home, online grocery shopping became a convenient necessity. The Benefits of Online Grocery Shopping: 1. The comfort of shopping on the go: When you shop online, you no longer need to check whether the store has been closed for the day or wait for an item to be restocked.
