Retail Matters Podcast: Tariff-ied and Thrifty: How Resale Is Winning the Price War

Research output: Non-textual formDigital or Visual Products

Abstract

Secondhand marketplaces are experiencing a tailwind as tariffs raise prices on new apparel and the closing of the de minimis loophole weakens the value proposition of sites like Shein and Temu.

The surge in shoppers puts more pressure on resale businesses to improve their user experiences as they compete for sellers and work to attract new shoppers while retaining their existing base of customers.

Brands and retailers had already been taking over more of their own resale and only have more incentive to grab a slice of the growing secondhand market.
