Quick commerce battle expands from delivery apps to hypermarkets and SSM

Competition in South Korea\'s quick commerce market is widening beyond delivery apps as e-commerce companies and corporate supermarkets (SSM) join the fray, industry sources said. With delivery times shrinking to around an hour, firms with dense urban store networks are gaining an advantage by using existing outlets as logistics hubs. The market is projected to grow from about 1.2 trillion won last year to about 5.9 trillion won by 2030, the report said.
