Growing Demand for Used Smartphones in Malaysia: The growing digitization, virtual classes, remote working, virtual socialization during Covid-19 pandemic led to smartphones being an indispensable part of life. Integration of technology and digital solutions required compatibility of devices with 5G technology, and it became a driving factor for the rise in sales in the smartphone market. However, as the proportion of low- to mid-income consumers is quite high, they prefer to go on online platforms offering refurbished and second-hand smartphones with discounts instead on new smartphones.

Rising Average Price of Used Smartphones: As the price of new smartphones have increased, people have started to buy used smartphones as they are affordable. The average price of used smartphones is expected to increase due to a robust demand in the future.
