Mobile Device Circular Economy: Health Check and 2025 Outlook

Wednesday 30 April 2025, 10:00 BST

In this webinar, we assess the global market for mobile device trade-ins and second-hand sales, highlighting key dynamics and trends shaping the circular economy in 2024 and looking forward to 2025.

Using the latest research from CCS Insight, we will explore how the market is responding to extended upgrade cycles in the US and the influence of regulatory changes in Europe, Latin America and Asia, including import restrictions, EU USB-C mandates, CE Mark requirements and Asia’s anti-dumping measures.

We will compare regional strategies and share where device buy-back and resale programmes work most effectively, illustrating how markets match supply with demand effectively.

Join us to discover:

  • The overall global performance of the trade-in and second-hand mobile device market in 2025.
  • Evolving global supply routes and the implications of shifting upgrade patterns and buy-back initiatives.
  • Regulatory impacts and how EU and Asian policies are reshaping the international flow of mobile devices.
  • The top five themes emerging from our latest market analysis — critical insights and strategic considerations for industry stakeholders.
