A new mobile phone every 2 to 3 years?

Written by Jennifer Heiss | Aug 28, 2023 9:59:39 AM

Mobile phones have undeniably become a fundamental part of our lives, but the constant urge to own the latest model every two to three years has led to rising costs and an increasing ecological impact. However, a positive shift is underway as the demand for used and refurbished mobile devices rises steadily. Not only does this market offer cost-effective options, but it also presents a promising opportunity to make a significant contribution to sustainability. 

The Growing Market for Refurbished Devices: 

According to a study by Custom Market Insights, global sales of refurbished and used cell phones reached approximately $64.1 billion in 2022 and are projected to rise to around $146.4 billion by 2023. This upward trend highlights the burgeoning market for pre-owned smartphones and tablets. As consumers become more conscious of their environmental impact, investing in refurbished devices offers an eco-friendly and wallet-friendly choice. 

The Impact of Responsible Handling: 

Often, when smartphones are damaged or replaced, they end up discarded, contributing to electronic waste. However, many of these devices can be easily repaired and returned to the economic cycle, extending their useful life and conserving valuable resources. Proper recycling of devices that cannot be repaired is equally crucial, as it safeguards the environment by salvaging essential raw materials.
