Market Index (Recommerce)
Market Intelligence
A recommerce market index is a benchmark that tracks the weighted average resale or buyback prices of specific used device models across platforms and geographies over time, providing a reference for fair market value.
Unlike indices for new goods, a recommerce market index must segment by condition grade - a single model may have four or more active price points simultaneously. Indices are used by buyers for sourcing decisions, by sellers for pricing calibration, and by investors and analysts to assess secondary market health. Factors influencing index movements include new model launch cycles, currency fluctuations, seasonal demand (Q4 peak), and platform promotional events.
