Momox, a Berlin-based re-commerce company, reported record sales for 2023. The revenue increased by 3.2% from the previous year, reaching $372M. The primary growth drivers were books and media, which saw a 7.7% increase in revenue. Momox's CEO, Heiner Kroke, emphasized the resilience of the secondhand market, especially during economic downturns.
The fashion segment of Momox focused on enhancing competitiveness. The company optimized its product range, adjusted brands, and improved quality standards. In 2023, Momox expanded its fashion segment to France and collaborated with the online retailer About You, aiming to reach a broader audience and increase market share.
Despite the economic recession in Germany, Momox thrived. "2023 has continued where 2022 left off. The economic recession in Germany was evident," said Heiner Kroke. He highlighted the stability of the secondhand market, noting that customers are particularly price-sensitive in challenging times, which benefits businesses like Momox.
Momox's success in 2023 sets a positive outlook for the future. The company's strategic focus on books, media, and fashion, along with its expansion efforts, positions it well for continued growth. The resilience of the secondhand market amid economic challenges suggests strong potential for sustained success in the coming years.
