Over the past five years, the Indian e-commerce landscape has witnessed a revolutionary transformation. Especially with D2C brands setting their foot and gaining dominance, conventional marketplaces have been facing significant challenges. Moreover, with the emergence of new-age technologies D2C industry has gained amplified reach and prominence, cementing their position in the Indian market. According to a Mordor Intelligence report, the Indian D2C E-commerce Market size is estimated to reach $ 87.5 billion in 2025, and $ 267.03 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 25% during the forecast period. This statistical figure is a testament to the positive growth trajectory of the D2C market.
One key driver of the success for the D2C segment is shipping and logistics. While shipping and logistics, as an industry in itself, has been prone to disruptions, thanks to pandemic, it has simultaneously been a hub of innovation. As per Mordor intelligence, the Indian Freight and Logistics market size is estimated at $ 349.4 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach $ 545.6 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.32% during the forecast period. The industry is expected to continue expanding steadily and vigorously as it gets ready for 2025, supporting D2C growth.

With the 2025 budget all set to be unveiled on 1st February, the D2C sector is eying significant developments. The industry projects the government to simplify compliance to spur growth and advance the country’s economic development, as well as to provide measures that would sustain and intensify the positive trajectory that was observed in 2024.
Here’s a look at what D2C players are expecting from the upcoming budget:
Facilitate compliance: The D2C ecosystem has been often exposed to challenges surrounding regulations and compliance. Especially when it comes to tax regulations such as GST, the comprehensive documentation process can create barriers to seamless business operations. Thus, the D2C players urge the government to introduce a centralized and transparent checklist for GSTN registration. A streamlined approach will enable the brands to target expansion while focusing on growth, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
Affordable access to digital tools: New-age technologies have become the modern-day rulers of industries and D2C is no stranger to it.
