Furthermore, it is important also to notice that more than 56% of consumers care about the environmental impact of returns ‘somewhat’ or ‘a lot’ — and only 20% of consumers don’t consider them at all. (Source: Loop survey – July 2022)
Returns cost 2.5 times more than an outbound transaction on average. Some industry segments, such as clothing, have the highest rate of returns (The average return rate of clothing in the US apparel market sits at 20.8%, with rates having risen by more than 50% since 2020 (source TI March 2023).
