Resale is on the move, people! From big retailers to small retailers, seed stage investors to large buyout rms, and from the New York Times to Netix, everyone seems to be talking about the future of resale. Part of me says, “Its about time!” but the other part says, “Everybody slow your roll!” Like all major movements and category disruptions, mainstream adoption happens over time, and this category is just getting started. The last few years of growth in the resale market have been driven by the early adopters (the same ones who rst adopted Airbnb or Lyft or DoorDash), but now the skeptics are starting to come around. At thredUP, were seeing rst-time thrifters coming to platforms like ours in droves. Not surprisingly, the younger generations are leading this charge, with millennials and Gen Z adopting secondhand 2.5x faster than other age groups. Even traditional retailers are starting to embrace secondhand. The resale customer is no longer somebody elses customer, they are everybodys customer. Mass market or luxury, if people can nd a high-quality product for much less, theyll choose used. As the line between new and used apparel blurs for consumers, a powerful transformation in retail will unfold. Foreword Ive never been more excited about resales potential to delight customers and help create a more sustainable future. We hope you enjoy reading our 2019 Resale Report as much as weve enjoyed pulling it together. We believe this year, more than ever, the data speaks for itself. Onward.
