Used Jewelry Resale Market Forecasts Diverge Between $2.7B and $22B Estimates

Estimates for the global used jewelry resale service market do not line up. Businessresearchinsights projects a US$2.7 billion market in 2026 that grows to US$6.76 billion by 2035 at a 10.5% CAGR, while Orbit Precision lists the market as valued at US$11.07 billion in 2025 and forecasts it to US$22 billion by 2033 at an 8.96% CAGR.

Businessresearchinsights supplies the most granular metadata in its snippet: Report ID 113568, last updated 02 February 2026, base year 2025, historical data 2022-2024 and a 91-page PDF. Its explicit segmentation names include By Type - Men's Jewelry and Women's Jewelry - and By Application - Online Resale Service and Offline Resale Service. The report snippet repeats the headline line that “The global used jewelry resale service market size is forecasted to be worth USD 2.7 Billion in 2026, expected to achieve USD 6.76 Billion by 2035 with a CAGR of 10.5% from 2026 to 2035.”

Orbit Precision offers a very different baseline and an unusual scope description. Its page states “The Used Jewelry Resale Service Market was valued at 11.07 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.96% from 2026 to 2033, reaching an estimated 22 billion by 2033.” The Orbit snippet also mentions expansion “fueled by rising demand across industrial, commercial, and technology-driven applications,” and the page presents both “Publication Date: Jan 2026” and “Published Feb 3, 2026.” Orbit lists a sales contact, Mr. Edwyne Fernandes, and gives regional phone numbers: APAC +61 485 860 968, EU +44 788 886 6344, US +1 743 222 5439.

A separate set of large-scale figures in Fortune Business Insights and Nextmsc refer to the overall jewelry market rather than resale alone, amplifying the surface confusion. Fortune Business Insights reports the global jewelry market at US$242.79 billion in 2025 and projects growth to US$387.36 billion by 2034 at a 5.41% CAGR, noting Asia Pacific held a 39.23% share in 2025. Nextmsc lists the global jewelry market at US$409.27 billion in 2025, US$432.60 billion in 2026 and a projection to US$713.10 billion by 2035 at a 5.71% CAGR.

Market behavior and business models offer context for why resale forecasts differ. Forbes observes category specialization and consolidation, writing “In 2026, expect more ‘category experts’ to win share.” Forbes also highlights platform risk and capital flows with the example that “the profit it reported in the last twelve months came mostly from forgiveness of debt by its lenders and not from resale operations. It has raised over $1.3 billion,” referring to The RealReal.

For readers and reporters assessing these numbers, compare definitions first: confirm whether a vendor counts resale service revenue or gross merchandise value, whether channels include pawn, auction, consignment, peer-to-peer marketplaces, or refurbishment fees, and which base year and historical window are used. Businessresearchinsights explicitly lists base year 2025 and historical data 2022-2024; Orbit explicitly gives a 2025 valuation but shows inconsistent publication metadata. Request full methodology from BRI (Report ID 113568) and clarification from Orbit (contact Mr. Edwyne Fernandes, phone numbers above) before reconciling totals.

Quick nugget for sharing: Businessresearchinsights says US$2.7B in 2026; Orbit says US$11.07B in 2025, projected to US$22B by 2033. Have you sold a similar piece? Tell us what you got.
