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.

This surge highlights the sector’s potential and the growing interest in D2C brands.
