Historically, used goods stores perform countercyclically to the overall economy. Revenue continued to climb in recent years as income levels and consumer confidence surged following the pandemic. Revenue also swelled because of changing consumer and fashion trends, leading to an influx of demand from young consumers. Numerous social media outlets and TV shows dedicated to altering or selling used merchandise have become popular in recent years, driving consumer demand for used goods stores' products. However, these stores experienced substantial challenges amid COVID-19, pushing down revenue in 2020. Used goods store revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 4.4% to $30.8 billion through the end of 2024, including a 2.7% jump in 2024 alone.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 4.4 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $30.8bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
