ai vision
ThredUp’s AI vision for the future of fashion resale
ThredUp takes an innovative approach to incorporating AI into fashion resale. With a vast amount of data on unique secondhand items and buyer preferences, ThredUp utilizes AI technology to enhance various aspects of its business operations and customer experience.
One key area is in streamlining its single-SKU processing in its network of distribution centers to improve throughput and productivity. ThredUp's advanced AI technologies extract a wide range of detailed characteristics of an item from its image, enriching its inventory database and streamlining the processing and categorization of items. This has improved operational efficiency and the accuracy of its product listings, resulting in better search and personalization in the marketplace.
Additionally, AI is leveraged to bring emotion and storytelling to the millions of shopping journeys that happen on ThredUp. With four million items in the marketplace at any given time, AI-powered search makes it easy and intuitive to find any secondhand item on ThredUp. Generative AI technology will soon give customers the ability to create outfits they love using text descriptions or imagery.
By harnessing the power of AI, ThredUp is able to provide an enhanced shopping experience while optimizing operational efficiency in the fashion resale industry.

ESG IMPACT
By 2028, the global secondhand market will reach $350B*
“The global secondhand apparel market continues to burgeon—a testament to the intrinsic value shoppers find in the secondhand experience and proof of the seismic shift towards a more circular fashion ecosystem. As we celebrate this progress, we also recognize the powerful role the government can play in accelerating the transition to a more sustainable future for fashion. Now in its 12th year, the Resale Report shows some of the most promising signals of what that future could look like with increased levels of support. Until fashion is no longer one of the most damaging sectors of the global economy, we will continue to advocate for the government to help drive adoption and behavior change in fashion. We hope you enjoy this year’s findings and join us on our mission to inspire the world to think secondhand first.”
