siliconindia | | May 20194While many of us buy refurbished products due to their low price but apt quality, few of us do so as we are more concerned about the environment. The reasons may be many, but the end result is wonderful. By the end of 2017, the refurbished market was worth roughly $19 billion, and IDC updated its five-year forecast to report that it would continue to grow at 10 percent year-on-year through 2022. But to everyone's surprise, the market slowed down by one percent in 2018, as reported by Counterpoint Research, which also states that India contributed 13 percent to the global refurbished market in the July-September quarter, recording 26 percent year-on-year growth. So what makes India one of the most potential refurbished markets? It is the enormous population, growing economy and increasing spending power that is pushing the market towards such growth. While the latest phone updates have slowed-down in the past, the refurbished smartphones become the preferred choice of the young generation who loves switching their phones frequently. And why not, it is an economical option! On the other hand, the refurbished computer industry is also gaining popularity among masses, as it provides high value at low cost. End-of-lease computers, laptops and tablets from pioneers get a lease of life in the refurbished companies who fix not just the hardware, but also upgrade the software to the latest version with enhanced features and settings that are sometimes customized as per the need of the buyers. This opens-up a great opportunity for gamers who cannot afford the new and latest products due to their high cost.
