FMCG distributors flag q-comm concerns in letter to govt

The All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation (AICPDF) has written to the ministry of commerce and industry, raising concerns about the rapid growth of the quick commerce market and the challenges it poses to traditional retail trade, particularly from players like Zomato-owned Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart.

In a letter sent on Friday, the AICPDF said that the “unchecked expansion” of quick commerce platforms could lead to “severe disruptions in the retail ecosystem”.
