Recommerce

Operations

Recommerce (also written re-commerce) is the commercial ecosystem of buying, selling, refurbishing, and redistributing used consumer electronics and other goods, with the aim of extending product life cycles and creating value from the secondary market.

The global recommerce market for consumer electronics was valued at approximately €150 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at 10-12% CAGR through 2030, driven by consumer cost-consciousness, sustainability awareness, and platform maturity (Back Market, Amazon, Refurbed, Swappa, eBay, Rebuy). Recommerce is distinct from peer-to-peer resale (eBay used listings, Facebook Marketplace) in that it involves certified refurbishment, grading, and warranty provision.
