\nAccording to the first Carousell Recommerce Index, led by Carousell Group, the leading
\nclassifieds group in Greater Southeast Asia, 86% of Taiwanese users have bought
\nsecondhand items before. This is higher than the Carousell Group’s average of
\n72%, and the second highest market after the Philippines (92%). <\/p>\n
\nrefers to the selling and buying of previously-owned products, including both
\nnew and used in condition. The Carousell Recommerce Index 2021 Report is a
\nCarousell Green initiative to highlight the importance of sustainability and
\nrecommerce in the Greater Southeast Asia region. The report covers findings
\nfrom four Carousell Group brands\u2014Carousell, Cho Tot, Mudah and OneKyat\u2014across
\neight markets\u2014Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines,
\nSingapore, Taiwan and Vietnam. <\/p>\n
\nranks highly across various areas when it comes to sustainability and making
\nsecondhand the first choice. 30% of respondents, who have bought secondhand
\nitems before, say they choose to buy secondhand for environmental reasons. This
\nis higher than the regional average of 21%, tying Taiwan and Singapore for second
\nplace. 11% of Taiwanese respondents also say they only buy secondhand where
\npossible. <\/p>\n
\nNT$20,000 and above<\/b><\/p>\n
\nrespondents had an estimated 102,556 unwanted items, or an average of 35 items
\nper user, at home that could be sold. Taiwan ranks second with an average of 52
\nestimated unwanted items that could be sold per user, very close to first place
\nIndonesia that had an estimate of 57. Taiwan is also one of the markets with
\nmany users forecasting up to 100 unwanted items that could be sold. Of these
\nunwanted items at home, 13% of Taiwanese respondents estimate they could earn
\nabove NT$20,000 if they sold all the items. <\/p>\n
\nis the top category that Taiwanese users feel most comfortable to buy (52%) and
\nsell (62%) secondhand. This is no surprise since it has led demand and supply
\nfor the past three years, from 2018 to 2020. Tops are most popular for both
\nWomen’s and Men’s Fashion, followed by women’s bottoms and dresses. A growing
\ncategory for secondhand is Luxury which grew to rank third in terms of demand
\nin 2020, and saw listing views increase by 14%. <\/p>\n
\ntrend continues in 2021 where we have observed rapid growth, especially in the
\nWomen’s Fashion category. Comparing from mid-May, when Covid cases started to
\nincrease, to mid-August 2021, there was a 99% increase in browses for Women’s
\nFashion, and a 41% increase in listings created. <\/p>\n
\nrecommerce is already gaining traction in Europe and the United States, it is
\nstill in its infancy in the Greater Southeast Asian region, especially Taiwan.
\nCarousell Group created the report to better understand the market and
\nsentiments towards secondhand. It is inspiring to see Taiwan leading the
\nsustainability charge among our markets, and the huge potential for everyday
\nTaiwanese users to not only benefit from recommerce, but to also make changes
\nto save the planet. It is an affirmation of us increasing our recommerce
\nefforts for Taiwan, and we will continue to work to increase the trust and
\nconvenience in buying and selling secondhand,” said Penny Cox, Head of
\nRecommerce, Carousell.<\/p>\n
\nTaiwan has been partnering with 7-Eleven Shipping since 2017 to enable users to
\ntransact smoothly, safely and reduce their carbon footprint. Users also have
\nthe option to donate their e-invoices to a list of charities, most of which are
\nenvironmental-related.<\/p>\n
\nyear, Carousell launched the Free Items category in Taiwan to help users to
\nlist and browse items to give away more quickly. Free Items category listings
\ncan move four times faster than the other General Classifieds categories. In
\nanother one of our initiatives for Earth Day, our online charity flea market,
\nwhere we donated NT$10 to the Leopard Cat Association of Taiwan for every
\nparticipating listing sold, garnered over 12,000 listings. <\/p>\n
\nNgoo, Co-founder, Carousell Group said, “As a pioneer for mobile classifieds in
\nthe region, Carousell Group has been constantly working to remove friction and
\nenable secure, seamless transactions. With the use of AI and data, we have been
\nfocused on accelerating our recommerce leadership in the region to make buying
\nsecondhand trusted and convenient. This, in turn, will help to solve the
\nmeaningful problem of overconsumption with recommerce and thus make secondhand
\nthe first choice for consumers.”<\/p>\n
