Sep 22, 2025

2023 XMI Customer Ratings - Consumer NPS

 

Of the 22 industries included in this study, grocers earned the highest NPS, with an average score of 30.1, while consumer payments received the lowest with an average of -6.1. Use these insights to compare your organization’s NPS to your industry’s average and track how you perform relative to companies in other industries that may be setting your customers’ experience expectations.

This 2023 U.S. consumer benchmark study surveyed 10,000 consumers across 351 companies and 22 industries on Net Promoter Score. To develop the NPS for each industry, we averaged the individual scores of the organizations within that industry.
