Key Market Drivers
a. Explosion in E-Commerce Returns
With e-commerce return rates ranging between 20%-30%, reverse logistics has become a core cost center and service differentiator.

Reverse logistics involves multiple touchpoints, complex coordination, and inventory uncertainties, making it more expensive than forward logistics.

Return abuse, especially in online fashion, electronics, and trial-based purchases, inflates operational costs and affects genuine customer experience.

b. AI and Robotics in Return Processing Centers
