The second-hand and refurbished smartphone market is huge with massive growth potential. In 2021, it was valued at 50 billion U.S. dollars and was estimated to reach 144 billion by 2031. Latin America and India had the highest growth rates of 29% and 25%, respectively, between 2020-2021, with the United States following close behind in third place with a 15% growth. In South Africa, the second-hand mobile market is believed to be four times bigger than the new market.
If you are buying refurbished smartphones, here's a list of things to check:
- Buy refurbished rather than used.
- Make sure the phone isn’t network-locked.
- Avoid stolen goods.
- Check battery life.
- Check for water damage.
- Check support for old iPhones.
Be smart and get an inspection at your supplier's location to verify before you buy.
