The new home goods catalog features pieces sourced from local Kijiji sellers and reminds Canadians "that even though you can’t find that piece of furniture in-store, you could find it, or something even better, on Kijiji." The I-KIJIJI-A catalog features pieces from the iconic Scandinavian home furniture brand [IKEA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-life-collection); however, each piece was purchased on Kijiji. The catalog includes bedroom furniture, kitchen pieces, living room furnishings, and more. According to the brand, "the catalog shows that buying local not only helps avoid the pains of supply chain shortages, it allows you to buy in-demand items without creating waste." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Local Sourcing:** Promote local sourcing of goods to help avoid supply chain disruptions and reduce waste. - **Second-hand Marketplaces:** Increase adoption and awareness of second-hand marketplaces as an alternative to traditional retailers. - **Furniture Rental:** Encourage furniture rental services as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to purchasing new furniture. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **E-commerce:** Opportunities for e-commerce companies to expand their offerings and marketplaces to include local sellers and second-hand goods. - **Home Furnishings:** Home furnishing companies can explore partnerships with second-hand marketplaces and local sellers to increase their offerings and appeal to sustainability-minded consumers. - **Sustainability:** Businesses targeting sustainability can provide consulting and implementation services to help companies reduce waste and promote local sourcing and second-hand markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Humanizing Furniture Catalogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-life-collection.md) - [Candid Furniture Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-is-not-an-ikea-catalog.md) - [Retailer-Backed Reseller Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-preowned.md) - [Revived Celebrated Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytillverkad-vintage-collection.md) - [Creative Home Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-home.md) - [Incredibly Vibrant Homeware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-homeware.md) - [Circular Furniture Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buy-back-and-resell.md) - [Full-Service Furniture Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-offer.md) - [Sustainable Beachgoer Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-kseberga.md)
