The e-commerce market and retail business is expected to drive the economic growth of the warehousing and logistics sector in the country.

According to a joint report by FICCI and property consultancy Anarock released on Thursday, the market size of retail segment is estimated to grow to more than USD 1.8 trillion by 2030 from USD 705 billion in 2020.

“Additionally, COVID-19 has accelerated the growth of e-commerce across India. Online shopping has increased significantly in Tier-II and Tier-III cities as well due to the easy availability of the internet on cheaper tariffs and restrictions on physical movement during the time of the pandemic,” said the report.
