Value of the secondhand apparel market worldwide from 2021 to 2028

In 2023, the global market value of secondhand and resale apparel was estimated to be worth 197 billion U.S. dollars. This value is projected to rise rapidly in the coming years, increasing by roughly 100 billion dollars by 2026. The combination of sustainability and affordabilityIn a 2023 survey, European consumers revealed that the primary motivations for purchasing second hand fashion are that it is a cheaper and more environmentally friendly way to purchase clothes, both topics which are especially relevant to younger consumers. The reduced prices of second-hand apparel also make clothes which would otherwise be too expensive more accessible. This had led to growth in the second-hand luxury goods market.Online platformsOne popular way that younger generations buy their second-hand clothes is via smartphone apps, which give shoppers greater choice and convenience. Depop registered 464,000 monthly downloads worldwide in December 2023. Tthis was considerably higher than the figure for the same month in 2022. Of course, many people still buy second-hand clothes from thrift shops.

于2023年，全球二手及转售服装的市场价值预计达到1970亿美元。这一数值预计在未来几年将迅速增长，预计到2026年将增加约1000亿美元。在可持续性与经济实惠的双重驱动下，2023年的一项调查显示，欧洲消费者购买二手时尚的主要原因在于其较低的购买成本以及对环境的友好性，这两个因素尤其受到年轻消费者的青睐。二手服装的降价也使得那些原本价格高昂的服装变得更加可负担。这促使二手奢侈品市场得以增长。在线平台成为流行趋势，年轻一代更倾向于通过智能手机应用程序购买二手衣物，这些应用程序为消费者提供了更广泛的选择和便利性。在2023年12月，Depop在全球的月度下载量达到了464,000次，这一数字显著高于2022年同一个月的数字。当然，仍有很多人从旧货店购买二手衣物。
