60 Business Ideas in April

From Refurbished Item Marketplaces to 10-Min Grocery Delivery Platforms

The April 2021 business trends showcase new business ventures, retail initiatives, and market fluctuations. Ranging from furnished item marketplaces to 10-minute grocery delivery platforms, brands are expanding their products and services in an effort to appeal to consumers' shifting priorities.

Notably, eBay Canada recently released a new business designed to allow shoppers to purchase brand-name products at a discount. The new platform speaks to consumers' interest in sustainability and the growth of the second-hand market. According to a recent survey, Canadian consumers "would rather buy refurbished products from a top brand with a warranty, versus a new product from a lesser brand with a warranty."

Another interesting example from the list of April 2021 business trends comes from Dija, an on-demand grocery delivery platform in the UK that offers a 10-minute delivery period on most orders.
