The demand for second-hand products is growing rapidly, supported by digitalization and e-commerce platforms. Digital technologies have made this offer more accessible, while ensuring service quality comparable to new products.
The second-hand market features various types of actors, with different business models but a common goal: to ensure quality and logistical performance while meeting customer expectations.
Three key factors influence the success of second-hand market players:
A key question companies face is whether to rely on existing logistics to share costs or to create specialized sites for product refurbishment in order to benefit from economies of scale. This strategic decision will have a direct impact on profitability and service quality.
Another consideration is whether to outsource logistics operations. By outsourcing, companies can leverage the expertise and lower costs offered by specialized providers, especially if these providers already handle large volumes of similar products. This can be a major advantage for second-hand logistics, particularly in highly competitive sectors such as electronics or fashion.
Some providers, such as GEODIS, offer turnkey solutions for businesses looking to outsource the management of refurbished products and optimize their circular supply chain.
The rise of second-hand initiatives, driven by growing demand and favorable regulations on sustainability, is pushing companies to rethink their logistics. Integrating a circular supply chain is thus becoming an essential strategic lever to stay competitive while reducing environmental impact.
Companies must therefore decide whether to internalize or outsource their logistics operations, depending on their goals of cost control, service quality, and customer satisfaction.
