What is Back Market?

Back Market is the first marketplace exclusively dedicated to refurbished devices.

Business and value proposition

Back Market is connecting worldwide refurbishers to consumers. They aim at focusing on various types of devices. As of today, they mainly sell refurbished smartphones but the mix is evolving quickly.

They don’t refurbish themselves and leverage refurbishers' market access for device sourcing, have then no stock and don’t deal with the after-sales service. They want to become the standard for refurbished products and make their consumption cool and mainstream.

They position themselves as a trusted third party and have also put the buy-back option in place to close the loop of the marketplace.
