History

Aihuishou was founded in 2011 and pioneered the second-hand 3C recycling model. In 2015, it created the trade-in cooperation model. In 2019, it merged with Paipai, connecting the full C2B2C industry chain and achieving a circular economy closed loop. In 2020, it built the world's first automated circulation system for non-standard second-hand electronic products, including conveying, inspection, sorting, and storage, with an automation rate of over 90%. In 2021, Aihuishou expanded into luxury goods recycling and determined an overseas strategy centered on technology and product output, with overseas business covering major second-hand digital free trade markets such as the United States, Japan, and India. In 2022, it expanded multi-category recycling services to include gold, famous liquor, shoes and clothing, and household items, moving from 'recycling phones' to 'recycling everything'. In 2023, it became an official Apple trade-in service provider, rapidly advancing its 'multi-category' and 'compliant refurbishment' strategies. In 2024, multi-category business development accelerated, embracing new opportunities under the 'two new' policies. In 2025, it achieved full-year profitability under GAAP for the first time, marking a new stage of scaled development for the platform business.
