Our recently published report, “Asia-Pacific Refurbished and Used Mobile Phones Market”, offers a comprehensive and deep evaluation of the market stature. Also, the market report estimates the market size, revenue, price, market share, market forecast, growth rate, and competitive analysis. 

Asia-Pacific Refurbished and Used Mobile Phones Market: Overview

A refurbished phone is a used phone sold to a network, manufacturer, or retailer by an individual. The phones are then examined, fixed, and certified to satisfy specified requirements. The mended phones are also for sale at a discounted price. The availability of new smartphone technology has increased the overall cost of smartphones. As a result, buyers in developing nations are cautious about spending large sums on the latest mobile phones and prefer to use used models. A year or two-year-old restored model would provide about the same usefulness, and the technology is up to the current standard.

Used phones are cell phones that have been used by users and then sold to other customers via re-commerce platforms on the market. Used phones are rarely the consumer’s first option when purchasing a phone because they need to examine its operating condition and functions. As a result, the popularity of refurbished phones has grown because they already have all of the inspections, and the user does not have to spend extra time ensuring the quality. In addition, used phones are less expensive than new counterparts on the market, encouraging middle-class users to choose used phones that are in good condition and affordable.

E-commerce is becoming a popular medium for purchase in Asia, owing to the easy availability of mobile phones and the benefits they provide, such as information about the product and the facility of home delivery to customers. In addition, e-commerce channels have become a critical source of revenue for multiple companies, owing to their key factors of increasing consumer reach. Furthermore, an increase in e-commerce sales, improvements in logistics services, and ease in payment options boost the market’s growth.

Asia Refurbished and Used Mobile Phones Market: COVID – 19 Impact Analysis

The lack of raw materials like semiconductors in Asia during the pandemic, owing to the closure of international borders, to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus had negatively impacted the supply chains. It hampered the export and import of essential raw materials and smartphones globally. This created a new opportunity for vendors in Asia with refurbished and used mobile phones. The increased demand for second-hand phones during the pandemic is expected to have a long-term impact on the Asia market, owing to the changes in consumer buying and consumption behaviour.

Therefore, the COVID-19 pandemic had a slightly negative impact on the market’s revenues. However, it boosted the demand for refurbished and used phones across the globe and positively impacted the market by creating a tremendous growth opportunity for the vendors operating in Asia’s refurbished and used mobile phones market.

Asia Refurbished and Used Mobile Phones Market: Growth Drivers

The popularity of refurbished smartphones

The number of smartphones integrated with cutting-edge technology has risen in Asia over the last five years. The proliferation of new smartphone technologies has increased the total cost of smartphones. As a result, clients in developing countries are hesitant to spend huge sums on new phones and prefer to purchase refurbished and used phones. A year or two-year-old reconditioned and used mobile device would supply them with roughly the same utility, and the technology is up to date.

Furthermore, the rising supply-demand mismatch in the Asia market for newly released devices gives a platform for selling refurbished and used mobile phones. Consumers are willing to accept refurbished and used models launched in the last one or two years because they offer the same experience as new gadgets. The increased popularity and acceptance of refurbished and used mobile phones are expected to fuel market growth over the projected period.

Growth of e-commerce websites

E-commerce is virtual stores where goods & services do not require physical space and are sold through websites. Easy accessibility and heavy discounts & offers provided by these online platforms boost the sales of refurbished and used mobile phones. In addition, presently, online shopping has become a macro trend, owing to the high internet penetration rate. Furthermore, online sales have witnessed significant growth in the Asia region during the last few years. In addition, the availability of information about mobile phones and their date of refurbishment, specification, and facility of home delivery by e-commerce contributes to the growth of the e-commerce segment for refurbished and used mobile phones.

E-commerce is becoming a popular medium for purchase, owing to the easy availability of mobile phones and the benefits they provide, such as information about the product and home delivery facility to customers. In addition, e-commerce channels in the Asia region have become a critical source of revenue for multiple companies, owing to their key factors of increasing consumer reach.

Report Methodology

In order to get the most precise estimates and forecasts possible, Custom Market Insights applies a detailed and adaptive research methodology centered on reducing deviations. For segregating and assessing quantitative aspects of the market, the company uses a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches. Furthermore, data triangulation, which examines the market from three different aspects, is a recurring theme in all of our research reports. The following are critical components of the methodology used in all of our studies:

Preliminary Data Mining

On a broad scale, raw market information is retrieved and compiled. Data is constantly screened to make sure that only substantiated and verified sources are taken into account. Furthermore, data is mined from a plethora of reports in our archive and also a number of reputed & reliable paid databases. To gain a detailed understanding of the business, it is necessary to know the entire product life cycle and to facilitate this, we gather data from different suppliers, distributors, and buyers.

Surveys, technological conferences, and trade magazines are used to identify technical issues and trends. Technical data is also gathered from the standpoint of intellectual property, with a focus on freedom of movement and white space. The dynamics of the industry in terms of drivers, restraints, and valuation trends are also gathered. As a result, the content created contains a diverse range of original data, which is then cross-validated and verified with published sources.

Statistical Model

Simulation models are used to generate our business estimates and forecasts. For each study, a one-of-a-kind model is created. Data gathered for market dynamics, the digital landscape, development services, and valuation patterns are fed into the prototype and analyzed concurrently. These factors are compared, and their effect over the projected timeline is quantified using correlation, regression, and statistical modeling. Market forecasting is accomplished through the use of a combination of economic techniques, technical analysis, industry experience, and domain knowledge.

Short-term forecasting is typically done with econometric models, while long-term forecasting is done with technological market models. These are based on a synthesis of the technological environment, legal frameworks, economic outlook, and business regulations. Bottom-up market evaluation is favored, with crucial regional markets reviewed as distinct entities and data integration to acquire worldwide estimates. This is essential for gaining a thorough knowledge of the industry and ensuring that errors are kept to a minimum.

Some of the variables taken into account for forecasting are as follows:

• Industry drivers and constraints, as well as their current and projected impact

• The raw material case, as well as supply-versus-price trends

• Current volume and projected volume growth through 2030

We allocate weights to these variables and use weighted average analysis to determine the estimated market growth rate.

Primary Validation

This is the final step in our report’s estimating and forecasting process. Extensive primary interviews are carried out, both in-person and over the phone, to validate our findings and the assumptions that led to them.
Leading companies from across the supply chain, including suppliers, technology companies, subject matter experts, and buyers, use techniques like interviewing to ensure a comprehensive and non-biased overview of the business. These interviews are conducted all over the world, with the help of local staff and translators, to overcome language barriers.

Primary interviews not only aid with data validation, but also offer additional important insight into the industry, existing business scenario, and future projections, thereby improving the quality of our reports.

All of our estimates and forecasts are validated through extensive research work with key industry participants (KIPs), which typically include:

• Market leaders

• Suppliers of raw materials

• Suppliers of raw materials

• Buyers.

The following are the primary research objectives:

• To ensure the accuracy and acceptability of our data.
