However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pmi">the latest PMI data</a> shows a deceleration in the rate of expansion in the output of consumer-oriented sectors. For example, the U.S. recorded a decline in manufacturing activity for the fourth consecutive month in July, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/08/40103631/us-manufacturing-activity-decreases-for-fourth-straight-month-hits-8-month-low-co">hitting an eight-month low</a>.
Amid sticky <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">inflation</a> and elevated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">interest rates</a>, consumers are turning to the pre-owned and refurbished goods market. Affordability is a factor driving this trend, as second-hand and refurbished items often come at a fraction of the cost of new ones.
There&#8217;s also the secular shift in consumer behavior towards choosing sustainable alternatives.
The pre-owned and refurbished goods market has grown steadily in recent years. It surged from a niche segment to a mainstream consumer choice.
The rise of this market aligns with the principles of a circular economy. This model aims to minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency by recycling and reusing existing products. Second-hand markets play a crucial role in extending the lifespan of products and reducing the demand for new materials.
Here's a look at how some of the key players performed during the second quarter.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EBay</h2>

<li>E-commerce website eBay Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>) reported second-quarter net revenues and non-GAAP earnings of $2.57 billion and $1.18 per share, respectively. That&#8217;s significantly higher than consensus estimates. </li>

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EBAY">EBay</a> also added refurbished golf clubs and now offers warranty services for pre-owned clubs and has eased its returns policies.</li>
<li>To trigger more sales of second-hand apparel, eBay had added new Gen AI features, such as &#8220;Shop the Look&#8221; and &#8220;Explore&#8221;.&nbsp; The company, in partnership with privately-owned Certilogo, has introduced a new &#8220;Click to Resale&#8221; feature, making it easier for sellers to list their second-hand items.</li>

<li>The company has been expanding its services to meet the diverse recycling needs of consumers, including luxury goods and digital products. "We are confident that our unique circular economy business model positions us well for healthy long-term growth,&#8221; CEO Kerry Xuefeng Chen said during the earnings call.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">LKQ Corp</h2>
<ul>
<li>LKQ Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LKQ#NASDAQ">LKQ</a>) reported revenue of&nbsp;$3.7&nbsp;billion, representing 8%&nbsp;year-on-year growth.
