Major Driver Impacting Market Growth

The increasing e-waste is expected to propel the refurbished laptop market in the forecast period. E-waste refers to discarded electronic devices and equipment, including computers, mobile phones, and household appliances, which pose environmental and health risks if not adequately managed or recycled. The use of refurbished laptops helps mitigate e-waste by extending the lifespan of electronic devices and reducing the volume of discarded electronics. For instance, in March 2024, according to a report published by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), a Switzerland-based agency dedicated to providing training and research to support global sustainable development goals, global e-waste production reached a record high of 62 million metric tons in 2022 (Mt), marking an 82% increase from levels recorded in 2010, and it is projected to reach 82 million metric tons by 2030, reflecting a further 32% increase. Therefore, increasing e-waste will drive the growth of the refurbished laptop market.
