Survey: Three out of four Romanians bought secondhand clothing in the last three years

A recent survey conducted by Ipsos for ING Consumer Research reveals that 74% of Romanians have purchased secondhand clothing within the last three years. The data indicates a broader trend in consumer behavior, with more than half of the surveyed population also reporting the purchase of secondhand furniture, electronics, or appliances during the same period.

These findings highlight a significant shift toward the secondary market for household goods and apparel among Romanian consumers. The study, which covered six European countries, underscores the growing prevalence of circular economy practices in the region.
