Secondhand Market & Luxury Industry: Why You Should Dive Into It
Despite most luxury consumers still being strictly new-product buyers, secondhand shopping is on the rise. The secondhand luxury market, estimated at $25–30 billion in 2020, is expected to have an annual growth rate of 10–15% over the next ten years! This luxury resale trend has been boosted by the pandemic, the success of specialised digital trading platforms, and the shift in consumer buying habits.
What Makes Luxury Consumers Buy Pre-Owned Products?
Last November, McKinsey conducted consumer research in North America, the EU and Asia, concluding that the luxury resale market is indeed a great opportunity for brands. What attracts buyers of both pre-owned and new luxury goods the most are access to rare in value, exclusive products and contribution to greater sustainability in the luxury industry. One-third of buyers also prioritise affordability.
Brands Engaging in Luxury Resale
Remember about pre-owned luxury cars? Today, buying one comes with premium service, including certification and guarantees; customers receive the same exclusive treatment, just like new-car buyers.
It’s no big surprise that luxury high fashion brands are dipping their toes into the waters of luxury resale, too. In 2020, Gucci partnered with TheRealReal for recycling, upcycling and reselling the brand’s garments. The cherry on top of that collaboration is that for every Gucci item purchased, TheRealReal plants a tree through One Tree Planted, a non-profit organisation focused on global reforestation.
Brands’ engagement in the secondhand market is also a way to reinforce craftsmanship, durability, and sustainability. Their involvement can raise the market value of pre-owned products, as well as help reduce counterfeiting.
