New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/22/2017 -- Persistence Market Research forecasts revenue from the global refurbished and used mobile phone market to increase from nearly US$ 19.7 Bn in 2017 to about US$ 38.9 Bn by 2025 end, representing a CAGR of 8.9% from 2017 to 2025. This increasing revenue growth can be attributed to a sudden price drop in electronic devices that is attracting new consumers to purchase refurbished mobile phones.

E-waste is a major environmental concern, as it causes an adverse effect on the environment, which further creates the possibility of toxic metal leaching into groundwater. E-waste can cause water pollution that is bound to affect the health of living beings. So to cater to proper handling of e-waste, governments have put strict regulations on the handling and disposing of e-waste. As per the U.S. EPA, electronic waste grew 120% between 1999 and 2009. Only 25% of the 2.4 million tons of disposed electronics were collected for reuse or recycling. Considering the same scenario, countries in the North America region such as the U.S and Canada are enforcing strict regulations to regulating e-waste, which is anticipated to pilot the growth of the refurbished and used mobile phone market.
