Pre-Owned Luxury Consumption in the Islamic World: Cultural Acceptance, Challenges, and the Role of Social Media
Introduction
This special issue seeks to deepen scholarly understanding and offer practical insights for academics, marketers, and policymakers engaging with Islamic markets in the context of shifting luxury values and sustainable consumption, shaped by the growing influence of social media. Therefore, this special issue aims to illuminate the distinctive dynamics of pre-owned luxury consumption across the Islamic world and within social media landscapes. Sustainable luxury consumption is increasingly gaining attention in the global marketplace, including co-ownership, luxury rentals, and the second-hand luxury goods (Ruiz, and Cruz, 2023). Particularly, the global rise of the pre-owned luxury market reflects a significant shift in consumer values, toward sustainability, circular economy, and mindful consumption (McKinsey 2011; 2025). However, in Islamic societies, the dynamics of purchasing and using second-hand luxury goods are shaped by distinctive cultural norms, religious beliefs, and social considerations that remain underexplored in academic discourse (Zainol, Noor, Nurhafihz and Tong, 2024).
