The most heavily concentrated regions for the India retail market include Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru, with South India taking up the biggest market share. The emergence of new technologies like augmented reality is expected to enhance the customer experience in brand retail stores and drive the India retail market growth in the forecast period.

Small and medium-sized kirana stores are the most popular form of retail outlet in India. This is because they offer a wide range of goods and are easily accessible in remote regions. Their product offerings include everything ranging from groceries to electronics and footwear to clothing items. They provide home deliveries to their regular customers and are easily reachable through phones.

In recent times, supermarkets have emerged as modern retail outlets in major Indian cities. They enable consumers to shop for their daily necessities through their neatly stacked shelves of groceries, food, and other essential items. This is expected to contribute to the India retail market expansion in the forecast period.
