Market dynamics

Driver - The circular economy and sustainability are driving market growth. Countries such as the US, China, Japan, Germany, and India generate vast amounts of e-waste. For instance, according to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India, in 2020, about 5.2 million tons of e-waste was generated in the country, a large portion of which comprised electrical and electronic equipment waste. To overcome the negative impact of e-waste, several countries are shifting toward a circular economy. For instance, on March 23^rd, 2016, the Government of India introduced the e-waste management rule. The use of refurbished smartphones reduces the carbon footprint and recycling costs. Such factors are anticipated to fuel the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
