#7 In EuropeOver the five years through 2024, second-hand stores’ revenue is expected to inch downwards at a compound annual rate of 3.9%. The resale fashion market isn’t new. Initially viewed as just charity or thrift shops, consumer attitudes towards second-hand goods have shifted thanks to the sharing economy and Gen Z becoming a larger voice in the retail market. Interest in preloved goods has skyrocketed thanks to heightened environmental concerns and the ethical impacts of fashion – particularly fast fashion. The pandemic has also helped second-hand retailers, as many Europeans cleared out of their wardrobes during lockdowns, meaning additional donations and inventory for stores.
