The standard Net Promoter Score® (NPS) varies significantly across industries. Here is a breakdown of typical NPS results based on industry benchmarks.

The average NPS® across all industries is often cited around +30 to +40. However, what qualifies as a "good" score depends entirely on the sector.

NPS Benchmarks by Industry (Estimates)

  • Technology & Software: +35 to +50
  • Financial Services: +30 to +45
  • Telecom & Utilities: +10 to +30
  • Healthcare: +25 to +40
  • E-commerce & Retail: +45 to +60
  • Hospitality & Travel: +35 to +55

Key Lessons for Your Store

  1. Context is Everything: Don’t compare a software company's NPS to a utility provider's score. Always look at your direct competitors.
  2. Identify Trends: The specific number matters less than the direction of movement. A rising NPS is a sign of healthy growth.
  3. Analyze the "Why": The score tells you what is happening; the open-ended feedback tells you why. Focus on the qualitative comments to drive improvements.

Brand Loyalty Tip

NPS is a leading indicator for organic growth. High NPS usually correlates with high customer lifetime value and low customer acquisition costs.

Top-performing companies like Apple and Amazon often maintain NPS scores in the 70-90 range, setting the global standard for customer centricity.
