NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / June 9, 2025 / Secondhand, pre-loved, pre-owned, upcycled - no matter the stitch or state, the circular fashion market is gaining popularity, according to the Mastercard Economics Institute.

Increasing its relevance, the market may be more immune to policy and global trade impacts since new product creation is not involved, a key element that could further fuel consumer appeal.

Using aggregated and anonymized Mastercard data, these spending trends and impacts are explored in more detail as a key part of the online apparel sector.
