06/06/2025 14:15 Second-hand clothing has become a growing lifestyle trend across Australia. According to Credence Research data, Australia's second-hand clothing market will grow from AUD 578 million in 2023 to AUD 1.6 million by 2032, maintaining an 11.88% compound annual growth rate from 2024 to 2032.
This shift highlights Australians' increasing environmental awareness and embracing responsible consumption habits. Rising cost of living pressures also drive some Australians toward this trend.
