Vinted, a consumer-to-consumer resale platform for items like clothing and furniture, has seen explosive growth driven by rising living costs and shifting consumer habits toward secondhand goods. Valued at over $9 billion after a recent €880 million secondary share transaction, Vinted is cash-positive and not pressured to IPO soon, though it hints at a future public listing. The company is expanding beyond fashion into new categories and growing its presence in the US, despite challenges like high shipping costs. While revenue rose 38% in 2025, net profit fell 19%, reflecting investments in logistics and payments infrastructure as Vinted aims to become the leading global secondhand marketplace.
