WHILE THERE WAS a heightened sense of attention being paid to the number of goods ordered online this holiday season, one inevitable aspect of the frenetic pace of e-commerce activity will be how much of an impact it will have on reverse logistics. That was a key theme of a report recently released by industrial real estate developer CBRE titled "Reverse Logistics Stress Test: Holiday E-Commerce Spike Will Lead to Record Returns." The report put the anticipated impact of reverse logistics into perspective, citing the National Retail Federation's (NRF) estimate that total 2020 online holiday sales are pegged to see a 40% annual increase, to $234.9 billion, with almost one-third-up to $70.5 billion-of these purchases expected to be returned. |
