Bolt Market, the grocery delivery arm of mobility giant Bolt, has recorded a staggering 300% growth in orders since its launch in December 2024, cementing its position as one of Kenya’s fastest-growing retail platforms.
Convenience Meets Speed
With average delivery times just over 15 minutes, Bolt Market has quickly become a staple in Kenyan households. The platform offers a curated selection of over 3,500 products, ranging from fresh produce and pantry staples to household essentials.
“The reception of Bolt Market has exceeded our expectations,” said Edgar Kitur, General Manager of Bolt Food.
“Kenyans want affordability without sacrificing convenience, and Bolt Market delivers exactly that. The rapid growth since launch confirms we are solving a real need.”
Strategic Retail Partnerships
Bolt’s success is fueled by its expanding network of retail partners, which includes both large chains and local merchants. This hybrid model ensures a broad product variety while supporting Kenya’s diverse retail ecosystem. The company’s extensive courier fleet has also been instrumental in maintaining delivery speed and reliability.
National Expansion on the Horizon
Looking ahead, Bolt Market plans to extend its delivery coverage nationwide by the end of 2025, reaching more towns and neighbourhoods across Kenya. This expansion aims to deepen access to cost-friendly grocery delivery while boosting local commerce.
Redefining Urban Convenience
Bolt Market’s rapid rise underscores Bolt’s broader commitment to urban innovation, offering time-saving solutions that align with Kenya’s evolving consumer habits.
