In Malaysia, Carousell Group stands out as a dominant player in the recommerce industry, with 46% of study’s respondents in the country saying they buy and sell secondhand on the Group’s platforms. To further illustrate the impact, assuming all used electronics listed are iPhone Xs, the height when stacked together is the equivalent of over 10,000 times the height of the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia.

  • Top 3 most popular categories to sell secondhand items are Fashion, Electronics, Cars

The report covers data from 9 of Carousell Group’s family of brands across Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan markets — Carousell, Cho Tot, Laku6, Mudah.my, OneKyat, One Shift, Ox Luxe, Ox Street, and Refash.

Since its inception in 2012 as a mobile-first app to make selling and buying underutilised items easier, Carousell has grown from a C2C classifieds marketplace into a multi-category platform for secondhand goods in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. To accelerate the next decade of recommerce, the Group has been working on additional capabilities to offer more features and services to users that make buying secondhand items as trusted and convenient as buying brand new items.

Commenting on the release of the Carousell Recommerce Index 2022 Report, Lucas Ngoo Co-founder, Carousell Group, said: “This year’s report, which is also our 10th Anniversary edition, serves as a crucial guide to help us better understand consumer behaviour in the post COVID-19 era. This will help us to keep up with the changing trends in the country so that we can continue to drive recommerce growth.”
