Market Overview

The secondhand luxury goods industry encompasses the purchasing, selling, and trading of pre-owned high-end products such as luxury handbags, clothes, watches, jewelry, footwear, and accessories via online platforms, resale shops, consignment stores, and auction houses. Pre-owned luxury goods provide customers access to authenticated goods at a price point lower than a new item. The market for secondhand luxury in Australia is growing rapidly as consumer interest in affordable high-end fashion, sustainability, and circular economy behaviours is on the rise. The market has gained momentum from the increasing acceptance of secondhand designer handbags, watches, and clothing by shopping consumers, especially younger demographics. The rise of resale and online secondhand sites and authentication methods, such as AI-validated sites, RFID tags, and blockchain-proof tracking, helps to build consumer confidence when purchasing secondhand luxury. Additionally, the government promotes waste minimisation efforts and supports circular fashion and sustainability projects, which may have indirect impacts on consumers' willingness to purchase secondhand luxury. Growth in the number of authenticated products, demand for rare or discontinued collections, and the continuing omnichannel effort created opportunities for brands, consignment retailers, and digital marketplace growth nationwide. Consumers generally view secondhand luxury as a value-based investment.

Driving Factors

In addition, warranty issues, hygiene concerns, and price transparency continue to impede consumers from engaging with resale marketplaces.
