What is Recommerce?
Recommerce — short for “reverse commerce” — is the resale of returned, used, or surplus goods. It is one of the fastest-growing segments of online retail, and it is reshaping how brands think about end-of-life inventory.
Why now
Three forces are converging:
- Returns have ballooned. E-commerce return rates are 2–3x what they are in physical retail. Reverse logistics costs are now line items on every retailer’s P&L.
- Consumers want sustainability. A used item bought through resale keeps it out of landfill — a tangible win.
- AI lets us value items at scale. What used to take a human grader ten minutes can be done in seconds with the right model.
