Which Emerging Trends Are Transforming the Dark Store Market in 2025?
Leading businesses involved in the dark store market are emphasizing the creation of novel solutions like shared micro-fulfillment networks to amplify delivery velocity, cut down expenses, and bolster the efficacy of last-mile logistics. A shared micro-fulfillment network operates through a central, automated fulfillment center stocking products of various e-commerce firms closer to the customers, thereby accelerating local deliveries in a more cost-friendly manner. For example, Delhivery Limited, a firm from India that deals with logistics and supply chain, initiated a network of multi-tenant dark stores in August 2024 primarily for "rapid in city delivery" for e-commerce organizations. Multi-tenant dark stores serve as shared storage facilities utilized by several e-commerce firms to store products for swift, local delivery.
