#classified script

The American classified ads industry stands at a pivotal moment. The global online classified ads market reached $26.86 billion in 2024 and projects explosive growth to $61.47 billion by 2033, with a 9.23% CAGR. While Craigslist still dominates U.S. classified sites, with competitors like Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and Mercari in close pursuit, the market remains wide open for specialized platforms that serve niche audiences better than generic giants.

The question facing American entrepreneurs today: Will you capture your share of this booming market, or watch others claim the opportunity?
