A Bibliometric Analysis on The Development of The Second-Hand Market Literature Over the Last 30 Years

Abstract

There is a growing interest in second-hand products among both researchers and practitioners. Therefore, this study aims to explore the growth of the second-hand market in the literature to enlighten the literature development on the subject. In this respect, a bibliometric examination of research in the literature on the notion of the second-hand market from the past to the present was performed. A total of 235 documents were examined for the study. The results show that second-hand consumption has emerged as a new type of consumer behavior, and later examined as a business model in the literature, and with the increasing importance of sustainability in both academic and practical fields, it has become a considerable consumption style. Second-hand products created an important market with more emphasis on the sustainability aspect. The most frequently repeated term in studies on the second is circular economy. Studies on second-hand clothing, collaborative consumption, sharing economy, and reuse concepts have increased in the last few years. The findings are intended to benefit both the literature and second-hand retailers.

İkinci El Pazarı Literatürünün Son 30 Yıldaki Gelişimi Üzerine Bibliyometrik Bir Analiz

Abstract

Hem araştırmacılar hem de uygulayıcılar tarafında, ikinci el ürünlere artan bir ilgi bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle bu çalışma, konuyla ilgili literatür gelişimine ışık tutmak için literatürdeki ikinci el pazarının gelişimini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu doğrultuda literatürde ikinci el pazarı kavramı üzerine geçmişten günümüze yapılan çalışmalar üzerinden bibliyometrik bir analiz yapılmıştır. Çalışma için toplam 235 doküman incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar ikinci el tüketimin yeni bir tüketici davranışı türü olarak ortaya çıktığını ve daha sonra literatürde bir iş modeli olarak incelendiğini ve sürdürülebilirliğin hem akademik hem de uygulama alanlarında artan önemi ile birlikte hatırı sayılır bir tüketim şekli haline geldiğini göstermektedir. İkinci el ürünler stil ve sürdürülebilirlik yönünü daha fazla vurgulayan önemli bir pazar yaratmıştır. İkinci el üzerine yapılan çalışmalarda en sık tekrarlanan terim döngüsel ekonomidir. İkinci el giyim, işbirlikçi tüketim, paylaşım ekonomisi ve yeniden kullanım konularında yapılan çalışmalar son yıllarda artış göstermiştir Sonuçların hem literatüre hem de ikinci el perakendecilerine katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.
