Global Second-Hand Apparel Market is valued approximately at USD 71.22 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a compounded annual growth rate of more than 14.8% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Second-hand apparel includes used clothing, shoes, accessories, and other fashion items. Buying second-hand apparel is a popular way to reduce waste, save money, and support sustainability by giving new life to pre-owned garments. It is a common practice in thrift stores, online marketplaces, and through clothing swaps or donations. Growing e-commerce market and growing demand for second-hand apparel anticipated to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.

According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) in 2023, the market has already experienced a substantial 21.5% growth, reaching USD 74.8 billion in 2022 and it is expected that the market may witness significant growth, with a value of approximately USD 350 billion by 2030, According to the World Economic Forum in 2021, the second-hand apparel market reached a value of USD 39.23 billion. Simultaneously, the counterfeit industry was expected to reach a staggering USD 4.2 trillion by the end of 2022, primarily fueled by the illicit trade of counterfeit clothing. According to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2019. The trade of counterfeit and pirated goods has shown a consistent increase in recent years, despite stagnant overall trade volumes, it accounts for 3.3% of global trade. Following closely behind are counterfeit cosmetics and personal care products, watches and jewelry, as well as handbags and luggage. However, growing concern towards counterfeit products and rapidly changing customer’s preferences may hamper the market growth. Moreover, increasing demand for branded products and availability of second-hand branded products come out as the growth opportunities of this market.

The key regions considered for the Global Second-Hand Apparel Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Middle East & Africa region dominated the market because of the rising demand of second-hand apparel owing to the low disposable income in the region and adaptation of second-hand apparel in rural areas in this region.
