Experts believe that DMart is a discount retailer. Due to this, consumers get goods at lower prices which is helping in increasing sales. This has helped DMart to increase its market share in markets that are very price sensitive. CLSA had said in a report that DMart is a big player in India's $500 billion food and grocery market. Currently, this space is occupied by small retailers. CLSA believes that in the next 25 years, TAM will grow to $2.3 trillion in which DMart's share will increase from the current one percent to 5 percent.
