The Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) industry is experiencing rapid and transformative growth, driven by evolving consumer preferences and technological advancements. Currently, India is home to 600 or more D2C brands, with the market projected to reach up to $100 billion by 2025. This significant expansion reflects a remarkable shift towards personalized products and services, supported by favorable policies that enhance digital e-commerce and innovation. Brands are leveraging online sales channels, tech-enabled solutions for supply chain management, and social media marketing to capitalize on this growth.
In 2021, venture capital investment in global D2C aggregators surged to nearly $1.2 billion, a notable increase from $40 million in 2020. The broader Indian startup ecosystem has experienced a substantial 42.1% year-over-year increase in venture capital funding, amounting to $6.3 billion through 672 deals in the first seven months of 2024. This surge highlights the sector’s potential and the growing interest in D2C brands.
