Rising Theft and Falling Trust Spur Consumer Demand for Package Protection

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The ecommerce landscape is facing significant challenges with package theft and consumer trust. According to Capital One, in 2023, over $13.4 billion was lost to package theft, with more than 50% of online shoppers expressing concerns about their deliveries. Additionally, the Baymard Institute noted that 70% of online shopping carts were abandoned in 2024, with a quarter of these abandonments due to concerns about credit card information security, contributing to a $10 billion annual loss to fraud.
