Resale

Resale is a multi-billion dollar a year industry, and one of the fastest growing retail segments.

Resale is the ‘ultimate’ in recycling. The U.S. resale industry has annual revenues of approximately $13 billion. -

First Research In 2011 and 2012, the resale industry has experienced a growth of

approximately 7% per year. Currently in U.S. - 25,000 not-for-profit, resale, and consignment shops. The

not-for-profits are charity specific and the rest are for-profit retail. 16 -18% of Americans will shop at a thrift store each year. For consignment/resale

shops, it’s about 12 -15%. - America’s Research Group Goodwill Industries generated $2.69 billion in retail sales in 2010.

typical resale shopper.
