The quick commerce market in Australia is expected to grow by 6.9% annually, reaching US$2.80 billion by 2025. The quick commerce market in the country has experienced robust growth during 2020-2024, achieving a CAGR of 6.5%. This upward trajectory is expected to continue, with the market forecast to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2025 to 2029. By the end of 2029, the quick commerce market is projected to expand from its 2024 value of US$2.62 billion to approximately US$3.63 billion.
Over the next 2-4 years, the competitive landscape is expected to stabilize around ecosystem-based models driven by retailers and logistics platforms, rather than standalone start-ups. Rapid delivery is expected to become a fundamental service layer spanning groceries, alcohol, and household essentials, increasingly supported by subscription programs and shared logistics networks. Market growth will progress gradually, emphasizing geographic expansion and integrated service offerings, while profitability and operational efficiency will remain key determinants of competitiveness.
Current State of the Market
- Australia's quick commerce sector has evolved from a start-up-driven phase to one dominated by major retail chains and delivery platforms that have embedded rapid fulfillment into their core operations. The market now reflects a more measured growth trajectory with an emphasis on operational consolidation.
- Traditional dark-store models that once supported ultra-fast deliveries have largely given way to hybrid approaches utilizing supermarket infrastructure and fulfillment centers. Consumer demand remains strongest in major metropolitan areas such as Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, with gradual expansion into regional towns through aggregator platforms. Growing price sensitivity has also pushed operators to prioritize sustainable delivery economics over pure speed.
Key Players and New Entrants
- Woolworths Group leads Australia's quick commerce segment through its MILKRUN brand, which provides rapid grocery delivery using its store network. Coles competes with its "Rapid Click & Collect" and same-day delivery options. Uber Eats and DoorDash have extended beyond restaurant delivery to include groceries and everyday essentials, forming partnerships with retailers such as IGA, Aldi, and Costco.
- Deliveroo's withdrawal in 2022 created a gap that was subsequently filled by multi-category platforms. Most new entrants are international aggregators expanding through retail collaborations rather than launching independent quick commerce brands.
