How have key drivers contributed to the rapid growth of the second hand trading platform market?
The growing popularity of e-commerce is expected to propel the growth of the second-hand trading platform market going forward. E-commerce refers to the buying and selling of goods or services over the Internet, including online transactions and digital payments. E-commerce popularity is growing as it offers unmatched convenience, enabling people to shop anytime, anywhere. This ease significantly reduces the time and effort compared to in-store shopping.

Its reach, ease of use, and secure transactions have helped normalize resale shopping, especially among budget- and eco-conscious buyers. For instance, in February 2025, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, 94% of individuals aged 16–74 in the EU used the internet in 2024, and 77% of them made online purchases, showing a strong adoption of e-commerce.
