Swiggy and Zomato's combined out-of-home GOV crossed ₹4,225 crore in Q3 FY26, up 27% YoY. After an exceptional FY25 with multiple quarters of triple-digit YoY expansion — peaking at 146% YoY in Q3 FY25 — growth is now stabilising at healthier, sustainable levels.
YoY growth has normalised from 146% in Q3 FY25 to 27% in Q3 FY26. After a brief contraction in Q4 FY25 (-8% QoQ), sequential growth has recovered to 19% QoQ in Q3 FY26. This marks a transition from hyper-growth to sustained expansion.
YoY growth at 27% remains healthy, driven by frequency gains, recovery in corporate and travel-related dining, and tier-2 city adoption. Category fundamentals remain robust despite moderation.
Flattening sequential trend reflects spending fatigue post-festive, coupled with budget reallocation toward home delivery and quick commerce in metros. Q4 FY25 saw a -8% QoQ contraction.
Rising adoption in tier-2 cities drives frequency gains and new customer acquisition. Out-of-home dining accessibility expands beyond metros to emerging urban centers.
The divergence between YoY and sequential trends highlights two key dynamics: strong underlying demand driven by frequency gains and tier-2 adoption, and seasonal moderation as consumers reallocate budgets post-festive. This phase marks a transition from hyper-growth to sustained expansion.
