Depop was created in 2011 in the United Kingdom. Using the service, users can sell and buy used clothing. It now has about 30 million users in 150 countries. By successfully promoting itself on social networks and positioning itself as a service with a focus on ethical and sustainable consumption, Depop has become popular with Generation Z (90% of app users are under 26 years old).
Etsy was founded in 2005 and its stock has doubled over the past year amid a pandemic increase in the popularity of online shopping.
