Swiggy’s gross order value (GOV) stood at $4.2 billion, up 26 per cent year-on-year (YoY) as monthly transacting users were around 14.3 million.
According to the company’s FY24 financial report, profitability has sharply improved year-on-year, “as the peak of investments in Instamart is behind us and the business continues to grow rapidly”.
In comparison, Zomato posted over 126 per cent growth in net profit to reach Rs 253 crore in the April-June quarter (Q1 FY25), from Rs 2 crore in net profit in the same quarter last year. The Deepinder Goyal-run company reported 74 per cent growth (year-on-year) in revenue at Rs 4,206 crore in Q1 FY25.
The figures came as Swiggy is set for its public debut later this year. It is reportedly eyeing a valuation of $15 billion valuation for its $1-$1.2 billion IPO.
Meanwhile, the food services market in India is poised to grow at 10-12 per cent annually over the next seven years, reaching Rs 9-10 lakh crore by 2030. The food services market in India, which encompasses dining out and ordering in, is currently valued at Rs 5.5 lakh crore.
According to a recent report by Bain & Company and Swiggy, online food delivery is expected to grow faster at 18 per cent CAGR, contributing 20 per cent to the overall food services market by 2030.
The Indian food service market, catering to middle and higher-income segments, will expand from Rs 4-5 lakh crore at present, to about Rs 10 lakh crore by 2030, the report mentioned.
