The second-hand fashion and circular economy market is experiencing growth through both physical retail expansion and technological advancements in Spain and Latin America.

In Argentina, the brand Galpón de Ropa has expanded its circular fashion model into shopping malls, opening a retail and collection point at Dot Baires Shopping. The company, which circulates approximately 40,000 garments monthly, is planning further domestic locations and a regional expansion into Uruguay and Chile.

Concurrently, the sector is seeing increased professionalization and investment. In Spain, the technology company Ruit secured 880,000 euros in funding to provide a technological layer for professional second-hand sellers. In Mexico and Colombia, digital platforms such as GoTrendier and Vestua are gaining popularity by offering social C2C marketplaces and digital consignment services for various brand tiers.
