Refurbished Devices: The Smart Choice for 2026 B2B Deployments

Refurbished Devices: The Smart Choice for 2026 B2B Deployments

Refurbished smartphones and tablets are becoming the go-to option for enterprises looking to balance performance, cost, and sustainability in 2026. The global refurbished smartphone market is valued at around USD 88-90 billion in 2025 and is projected to exceed USD 200 billion by 2033, growing at 11-13% CAGR (SNS Insider, Mordor Intelligence). In Europe, recommerce (including refurbished devices) is expected to capture 11% of the €107 billion online electronics market by end-2025, up from previous years, driven by circular economy policies and ESG goals.

Strong Growth Driven by Real Needs

The used and refurbished smartphone market alone is forecasted to reach USD 91 billion by 2030 at 6.93% CAGR, with shipments growing from 315 million units in 2025 to 430 million by 2030 (Mordor Intelligence). Enterprises are leading this shift: business usage of refurbished phones is the fastest-growing segment as companies seek cost-effective mobility while meeting sustainability targets. Reusing one smartphone avoids approximately 55 kg CO₂e emissions on average, helping firms hit ESG reporting requirements under EU CSRD and similar frameworks.

For tablets, while overall new shipments may see slight dips in 2026 due to longer replacement cycles, refurbished models are gaining traction in education, healthcare, and field service – areas where durability and affordability matter most.

Benefits for B2B Buyers

Refurbished Grade A devices offer near-new performance with full diagnostics, genuine parts, and warranties – often at 30-50% lower cost than new. They support the same MDM enrolment, software updates, and enterprise features as fresh stock, but with lower TCO and reduced e-waste. In 2026, with tighter budgets and stricter sustainability rules, refurbished fleets help enterprises scale without compromise.
