The apparel re-commerce markets are giving customers an opportunity to own their desired clothes and fashion accessories at affordable prices and without leaving the house. There are multiple facilities provided to the customers, including showcasing the products on sale. The online website has images and product information, which helps educate the customer about the product. Using these as a reference, customers can choose the size, color, and other choices for their desired products. There is also a peer-to-peer marketplace, where customers can compare the prices of the same or similar products on sale over different marketplaces or websites. Along with ease in shopping, customers can also connect to the seller directly, if they have any queries or issues related to the product. The apparel re-commerce business is growing as a result of how simple online buying is.
Many companies and manufacturers have entered and invested in the re-commerce sector as a result of the market's overwhelmingly positive response, offering a number of apparel combos, luxury goods, and reselling clothing. Supply and demand for season-specific apparel and accessories, the increasing popularity of branded apparel, and the increasing penetration of customers, especially millennials are helping the apparel re-commerce market grow.
There are some major problems faced by the apparel re-commerce market, that are limiting the market growth in many regions. The first commonly faced problem is the lack of brand loyalty.
Many brands are providing quality products to customers, making sure that they do not go anywhere else. As there are multiple products available all over the market, customers do not prefer any single brand or product. Such competition and a vast number of products then lead to the weakening of brand trust and loyalty.
Some of these products are provided by counterfeit manufacturers. These products are relatively cheaper, but they also lack quality. This is another reason for weakening the trust between a brand and its customers.
High return rates of the sold products are another problem faced by the re-commerce market. when the customer is not satisfied with the product or receives the wrong product, they can return that product to the seller. There are different policies on returning the products, differing from seller to seller.
Due to freedom for returns in specified days, users are exploiting these policies and returning products after using them for a few days. Due to such problems, sellers are applying no-return policies on their products, increasing complications for customers. These problems are restraining the apparel re-commerce market.

China is the biggest manufacturer and consumer of apparel and accessories products. There is a number of brands and counterfeit manufacturers, providing different products to customers. Even though, purchasing second-hand clothing at a low price and using them is not attracting Chinese customers. Chinese customers are ignoring the resale markets, due to their social image and superstitions related to second-hand clothing. Also, fake and counterfeit products are the biggest concern for them. Again, viral infections and health concerns are other reasons that apparel re-commerce is not popular in China.
