Published:

According to a recent report by Alliance Bernstein, the current Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of Meesho, a value-driven e-commerce startup, is over USD 5 billion. The report further reveals that Meesho generates around 50% of its GMV from fashion and apparel categories, with beauty and personal care, along with home and kitchen, accounting for 8-10% each.

In the fiscal year 2023, Flipkart, the leading player in the market, recorded a Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of USD 29 billion.

Sharing numbers for December 2023, the report highlighted Meesho’s impressive 32 percent Year-over-Year (YoY) growth in monthly active users, surpassing its counterparts Flipkart and Amazon, which recorded growth rates of 21 percent and 13 percent, respectively.

“We expect Meesho to be the key gainer with >48%+ downloads in Indian e-commerce and gain incremental market share.”

According to the report, Meesho has been expanding its market share predominantly by strategically targeting tier 2 plus cities, leveraging its mass positioning and operating through a zero commission model.

Around 80% of Meesho’s sellers are retail business owners, and about 95% of the selection on the platform is unbranded.

According to the findings, Meesho’s order volume witnessed a remarkable 43% year-over-year growth in the last 12 months, accompanied by a robust 54% increase in revenue attributed to healthy take rates. Notably, the e-tailer’s repeat customer base stands at over 80%.

Last month, Meesho announced a notable 77% increase in revenue for FY23, reaching INR 5,735 crore. This substantial growth was driven by the company’s sustained leadership position, elevated transaction frequency among existing customers, a broadened category mix, and an intensified focus on enhancing monetization through value-added seller services.
