Retail
The convenience of online shopping remains a priority for shoppers who've embraced digital-first lifestyles, but we're
also seeing new developments. Alongside continued growth in search interest in “same day delivery” and “free delivery,”
which have risen by more than 35% and 15%, respectively, over the last two years, there has been a surge in search
interest in "instant delivery," which has grown over 215% from 2021 to 2022. Consumers are no longer just looking for
convenience now; they want to have products on hand immediately, especially during peak shopping moments such as
the festive season.
Technology
Consumers are conscious of sustainability, and they're moving from awareness to action, following India's net zero
carbon emissions pledge in 2021. For example, there's been a shift in search interest in "what is e-waste" to "e-waste
disposal methods" quarter over quarter, with search interest in the latter growing over 110%.
At the same time, people are holding brands and the authorities accountable for sustainability efforts. For instance,
search interest in “clean India,” which is commonly associated with a country-wide campaign to improve waste
management, has risen by over 80%.
Finance
Rising cost of living has been top of mind for consumers, with search interest in “inflation" and "cost of living" each
growing over 20%. Moreover, people are acting to ease their financial concerns, including through short-term financing
options. Search interest in “buy now, pay later” has risen over 100%, and search interest in “pay later” has increased over
50%.
