The Rise of Online Marketplaces – Are Classified Platforms Still Growing in 2025?

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a massive shift in how people buy and sell online. From traditional eCommerce sites to hyperlocal apps like Letgo, OLX, and Shpock — the marketplace model continues to evolve.

What’s interesting is that even in 2025, the classified marketplace trend seems far from slowing down. Many startups are now launching niche platforms focusing on specific categories like pre-owned gadgets, home goods, or even local services.

I’ve been exploring how ready-made marketplace solutions (similar to Letgo clone scripts) are helping entrepreneurs go live faster without starting from scratch. It’s fascinating how technology is making it easier to connect local buyers and sellers on a single platform.

I’d love to hear your thoughts —

  • Do you think the classifieds model still has room for innovation?
  • What features or business models could make these platforms stand out today?
