| Abstract: |
The study aimed to understand consumer awareness, usage patterns, and preferences related to Q-commerce platforms in Kerala. Data was collected from 120 respondents, with a majority being female and aged between 26-35 years. Most respondents belonged to the low-income group (earning less than ₹20,000 per month) and were from urban areas, although a significant share also came from rural and semi-urban regions. Findings revealed that 83% of respondents were familiar with Q-commerce, with Swiggy Instamart being the most widely used platform. Social media emerged as the primary source of awareness. While a portion of respondents rarely used Q-commerce, about 30% reported weekly usage. Most consumers spent less than ₹3,000 per order, indicating price sensitivity. Consumer preferences highlighted the importance of ease of ordering, product variety, quick delivery, and best deals. A large majority expressed willingness to continue using Q-commerce in the future, and trust levels in these platforms were notably high. Chi-square analysis showed a significant association between income and frequency of Q-commerce use, while no significant association was found between gender and either frequency of use or platform preference. Hence we can say that, Q-commerce platforms are gaining traction in Kerala, driven by affordability, convenience, and digital awareness. However, there is room for growth in rural areas and among low-frequency users, provided platforms focus on affordability, logistics, and customer engagement. |
