The recent pandemic has generated a strong contraction in consumption, increasing consumers' risk aversion, and disrupting the way they purchase different foods. Consumers have shifted to sustainable consumption, preferring foods that can help them towards a balanced diet, strengthen their health, and help develop resistance to viruses. This paper aims to identify the most relevant specialised articles, published during the pandemic (2020-2023), addressing sustainable consumption of organic food. They are investigated through a bibliometric analysis, which highlights the main directions in which this international research has converged. In the investigative approach, the authors resort to applying the PRISMA methodology peculiar to this type of analysis; the references selected according to the different objective criteria chosen are subsequently analysed using the VOSviewer software. Based on the review of the literature, the paper also presents possible future research directions highlighting the opportunities for scientific capitalisation of this research topic.","PeriodicalId":46837,"journal":{"name":"Amfiteatru Economic","volume":"243 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139294927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We observe a decrease in the number of published papers on this topic, as evidenced by the limited number of papers in the Web of Science (WoS) database (41 papers) and Scopus (38 papers). Through co-occurrence analysis, we highlight the importance of consumer behaviour research in sustainable fashion and identify research gaps related to the absence of market segmentation analysis based on consumer behaviour and demographic information in the second-hand clothing market. To address these gaps, our research aims to identify the main factors that influence consumers to buy second-hand clothing products and to examine the profile of customers who make these purchases, focusing specifically on Romania. We collected data from 110 respondents through a questionnaire. Using two-stage clustering and ANOVA, we identify distinct consumer segments that share similar characteristics. These segments show variations in age, income, frequency of purchase, and reasons for choosing second-hand clothing. By addressing sustainability concerns and providing practical strategic options, our study aims to help businesses operating in the second-hand clothing market. Our findings align with previous research on diverse consumer segments with different attitudes and behaviours towards second-hand consumption.","PeriodicalId":46837,"journal":{"name":"Amfiteatru Economic","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139306165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
