Motilal Oswal said that Zomato is a significant participant in the meal delivery industry last month. According to the forecast, the firm would expand its sales at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29% between FY23 and FY25. Zomato is anticipated to turn a profit by FY25 while facing fierce competition due to its tremendous development. According to the local brokerage business, rising internet connectivity, increased consumption, and urbanization would all contribute to the industry of food delivery in India seeing tremendous development in the next years.
Additionally, it said that a 13 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of monthly transacting users (MTU) is anticipated from FY23 to FY25 as a result of Zomato’s growing use and acceptance.
It is expected that the firm would turn a profit by FY25 since Zomato’s food division reached Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) breakeven in the first quarter of FY23.
