Our recently published report, “Latin America 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. 

Latin America Refurbished and Used Mobile Phones Market: Overview

A refurbished phone is a secondhand phone sold by an individual to a network, manufacturer, or retailer. The phones are tested, repaired, and certified to verify that they meet the specifications. The fixed phones are also for sale at a reduced price. Because of the availability of new smartphone technologies, the total cost of smartphones has risen. As a result, shoppers in developing countries are hesitant to spend huge sums on the latest mobile phones and instead go for secondhand devices. A year or two-year-old refurbished model would give roughly the same utility, and the technology is up to date.

Used phones are cell phones that have been used by consumers and then sold to other customers through market re-commerce platforms. Because customers must inspect the phone’s functioning condition and functionality, used phones are rarely the consumer’s first choice when acquiring a phone. As a result, refurbished phones have increased in popularity since they already have all of the inspections, and the customer does not have to spend extra time guaranteeing the quality. In addition, used phones are less expensive than new counterparts on the market, enabling middle-class customers to pick in excellent condition and inexpensive used phones.

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

The lack of raw materials like semiconductors in Latin America 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 the vendors operating in Latin America’s refurbished and used mobile phones market. The increased demand for second-hand phones during the pandemic is expected to have a long-term impact on the Latin American market due to changes in consumer buying and consumption behavior.

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 Latin America refurbished and used mobile phones market.

Latin America Refurbished and Used Mobile Phones Market: Growth Drivers

Introduction of technology

The advent of new technologies in the electronics and communication field provides a chance for mobile companies to introduce new mobile phone models in the market. The features, specifications, and software of mobile phones are designed to improve performance and provide a unique experience to the consumer. The availability of such mobile phones in the market entices the consumer’s interest and encourages them to go for the new product. 

The increasing introduction of new mobiles in the market and the growth rate of purchases of new phones by consumers are affecting the sales of refurbished and used mobile phones. The new phones are also restraining growth, and the increasing awareness of new phones discourages consumers from going for refurbished ones.

Increasing sustainability

Environmental degradation is one of the biggest threats that the earth is facing. The increasing rate of environmental degradation is causing an adverse effect that is giving rise to the adoption of eco-friendly products in the Latin American market. Latin America produces 145,000 tons of waste every year, and the harmful chemical in the plastic contaminates the water, leading to several human diseases. Therefore, sustainability is one of the most important goals for humanity to maintain, and it would help reduce environmental damage. 

The refurbishment of mobile phones is the best way to reduce the amount of electronic waste in the environment, and it encourages price-sensitive consumers to purchase mobile. In addition, the availability of refurbished products in the Latin American market is helping to increase awareness and sales by promoting their product detail in the market.

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.
