shoppers cutting back their online spending as they have had to cope with the increased cost of living. But they still shop online regularly, with a quarter doing so at least once a week. The timesaving and home-delivery conveniences of online shopping are particularly attractive to all cohorts, and Gen X is known to be the most cost-conscious com- pared to other generations. Nisic added, “This survey indicates that social com- merce is becoming more mainstream and fashion is clear- ly a growth driver. We see online retailers focusing heavily on the digital shopping experience and a seamless experi- ence with social media channels is a must going forward.”

Packaging Quality And Recyclability Are Essential Fac- tors In The Purchase Decision; Who Bears The Cost Of Returns? Customers prioritise packaging quality and eco-friend- liness, with 88 percent valuing protective packaging and a substantial portion considering recyclability important.

The growth of recommerce markets indicates a consumer preference for reusable packaging, meaning that eCommerce retail- ers need to consider post-purchase behaviour and align with sustainability demands in the circular economy. Tra- ditionally, returns have been free since this encourages purchases. With rising costs and as related sustainability issues rise, 39 percent of survey respondents say they don’t want to pay for returns, with Millennials and Gen Z most accepting to bear this cost. Almost Half Won’t Shop Again With A Brand If The Pack- aging Does Not Meet Expectations. Unsurprisingly, given they are the generations who have grown up with the concept of unboxing rather than simply the opening of a parcel, it’s again Millennials and Gen Z that most highly rate the importance of packaging to the unboxing experience—with two-thirds (66 percent) of Gen Z and 65 percent of Millennials rating it important or very important, compared to only 46 percent of Boom- ers. A negative unboxing experience, with overpackaging being the most referenced grievance, shows nearly half (47 percent) saying it could put them off buying again. In comparison, 45 percent say they would not buy again from a brand whose packing is challenging to recycle.
