The second-hand market is growing rapidly worldwide, driven by rising consumer demand for sustainable practices and economic factors making new goods less affordable. According to GoTrendier, an online marketplace for pre-owned fashion, 73% of Mexican consumers are expected to opt for second-hand clothing by 2025, utilizing both physical and digital platforms.
The shift toward second-hand shopping is largely due to increasing awareness of the environmental impact of fast fashion. A study by the Universidad Iberoamericana found that 65% of Mexican consumers are concerned about fast fashion’s ecological footprint, while 70% are willing to pay more for ethically and sustainably produced clothing, as reported by Greenpeace.
