Amazon has launched a new grocery delivery subscription for Prime members and EBT cardholders in the US.

The subscription offers one-hour delivery windows, unlimited 30-minute pickup, and priority access to recurring reservations.

Gen Z consumers are more willing to pay for faster delivery. Automated refunds and efficient processes are also preferred by consumers. The study evaluated platforms based on various factors, with Amazon Fresh, Zepto, and Flipkart leading in different categories. Challenges like expired products and quality issues were also observed. The study suggests that established platforms need to speed up delivery times, while quick delivery services need to improve value and quality. The online grocery sector is rapidly evolving, with broad demographic participation and adoption in Tier III and IV districts.
