Key Trends in the Market

A refurbished mobile phone is a previously owned mobile phone that has been repaired and restored for resale purposes, while a used mobile phone is simply a phone that was previously used and is then resold. Refurbished and used mobile phones tend to cost significantly less than new phones. While both refurbished and used phones are previously owned, refurbished phones are generally sold by networks, manufacturers, or retailers who test, repair, and verify that the phone adheres to a set of criteria, whereas used mobile phones are sold by individuals. Refurbished mobile phones may come with limited warranties, which are commonly not offered with used phones.

 

  • Purchase of refurbished and used mobile phones is expected to rise dramatically over the coming years due to the rising popularity of consumer electronics, refurbished phones, and used phones through various online and offline sales channels. The growth of smartphone adoption, burgeoning emerging markets, and increased consumer demand for low-cost items all have a positive impact on the refurbished and used mobile phones market.
  • One of the key trends of the market for refurbished and used mobile phones has been an increase in costs of new mobile phones with limited feature upgrades. As older mobile phones continue to be useful and costs of new phones increase, more individuals and companies are buying refurbished and used mobile phones at lower costs. Refurbished phones are thoroughly tested, increasing their reliability while used phones are available in relatively new condition and can be verified by buyers.
  • The growth of online platforms offering refurbished and used smartphones are increasing the penetration of the refurbished and used mobile phones market, especially in emerging economies. The easy availability of refurbished and used mobile phones on online platforms from reliable sellers and networks, with complete details and multiple images and videos are encouraging buyers to purchase pre-owned mobile phones.
