The report covers findings&#13;<br \/>\nfrom four Carousell Group brands namely Carousell, Ch\u1ee3 T\u1ed1t, Mudah.my and&#13;<br \/>\nOneKyat, across eight markets &#8211; Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the&#13;<br \/>\nPhilippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam, involving over 3,000 buyers and&#13;<br \/>\nsellers. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In Malaysia, almost eight out of 10 people have made secondhand&#13;<br \/>\npurchases before, with a strong preference for buying Photography and&#13;<br \/>\nElectronics such as computers, mobile phones and tablets (46%). Meanwhile,&#13;<br \/>\ntop-selling categories are Home, Furniture and Appliances (48%), with thousands&#13;<br \/>\nof items making their way to new homes instead of landfills, providing income&#13;<br \/>\nto sellers and delivering value for money to buyers.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At Carousell, we have always aimed to provide a new lease of life for&#13;<br \/>\nunderused items, as a means to reduce waste and to help people get more value&#13;<br \/>\nfor money. Over the last two years, normal consumer behaviour has been upended&#13;<br \/>\nby the pandemic, hence the Carousell Recommerce Index is a timely &#8216;report card&#8217;&#13;<br \/>\non where we are now, and how we can make secondhand the first choice in our&#13;<br \/>\neffort to practice a more sustainable lifestyle and support a circular&#13;<br \/>\neconomy,&#8221; explained Tang Siew Wai, Country Head (Malaysia), Carousell. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As for motivations for buying secondhand, 78% of Malaysian respondents&#13;<br \/>\nwho have purchased secondhand items before cite &#8216;value for money&#8217; as the top&#13;<br \/>\nreason, coming out ahead of the regional average of 68%. <\/p>\n<p>Overall in the region, Fashion remains the top category with the most&#13;<br \/>\nsecondhand listings (29%), with Women&#8217;s Fashion dominating the top spot across&#13;<br \/>\nthe region, and Men&#8217;s Fashion becoming increasingly popular. This is echoed in&#13;<br \/>\nMalaysia where Men&#8217;s Fashion surged 76% in listing views and 74% in listings&#13;<br \/>\ncreated on Carousell Malaysia, with men&#8217;s tops followed by sneakers as the most&#13;<br \/>\npopular purchases. Men&#8217;s Fashion also saw strong interest on Mudah.my, leading&#13;<br \/>\nthe way for its parent category Home and Personal Items to reach second place&#13;<br \/>\nin 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, on Mudah.my, Autos takes the lead from 2018 &#8211; 2020 in terms of&#13;<br \/>\nthe most number of secondhand listings and the most demand for secondhand. With&#13;<br \/>\nthe launch of the Carousell Auto Group earlier this year, this category is&#13;<br \/>\nanticipated to be a key area of growth as more individuals seek safe and&#13;<br \/>\nreliable vehicles for safety and other reasons, without the burden of financing&#13;<br \/>\na new set of wheels.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of fluctuations in buying and selling, Carousell Group&#13;<br \/>\ncontinues to make headway in fostering community while promoting secondhand.&#13;<br \/>\nThis includes Malaysia&#8217;s Betul-betul Free campaign, which was inspired by&#13;<br \/>\ngenerous users who listed items for free using the hashtag #blessings. The&#13;<br \/>\npopularity of the campaign led to a dedicated Free Items category that is now&#13;<br \/>\navailable in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and the Philippines on&#13;<br \/>\nCarousell, as well as Ch\u1ee3 T\u1ed1t in Vietnam and OneKyat in Myanmar.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"_heading=h.1t3h5sf\"\/>Lucas Ngoo, Co-founder, Carousell Group said,&#13;<br \/>\n&#8220;As a pioneer for mobile classifieds in the region, Carousell Group has been&#13;<br \/>\nconstantly working to remove friction and enable secure, seamless transactions.&#13;<br \/>\nWith the use of AI and data, we have been focused on accelerating our&#13;<br \/>\nrecommerce leadership in the region to make buying secondhand trusted and&#13;<br \/>\nconvenient.
