Focused Government initiatives, increase in the upgrade cost and delayed availability of new handsets owing to supply chain constraints during the COVID-19 pandemic boosted the growth of the Used Smartphone Market in Malaysia.
Malaysia Used Smartphone Market Overview: The Used Smartphone Market in Malaysia is currently in the growing phase and is a highly fragmented market. The market has been driven by increasing smartphone and internet penetration along with digital transformation due to the adoption of the 5G network, a high proportion of low- to mid-income consumers and rising prices of new smartphones. Malaysia Used Smartphone Market grew from nearly 13% in 2016 to about 15% in 2021 in terms of revenue generated, due to the growing demand for Used smartphones in the country.

Challenges Faced by Malaysia Used Smartphone Market: Improper pricing strategy and vulnerability to malware and hacking issues are some of the major challenges of this industry. With no standardized approach and the industry being at a nascent stage, consumers have to pay for the fluctuating prices. Malaysia has frequent price-drop periods throughout the year which pose another challenge to the frequency of sales. Over the years, shoppers have been trained to wait for price drops. Thus, instead of buying used smartphones, they can get new ones during the same period.
Supportive Government Initiatives: The Malaysian government launched the MyDIGITAL initiative as a part of the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint. This initiative is a part of the government’s plan to transform Malaysia into a digitally driven, high-income nation and a regional digital economy leader by 2030. With this initiative, the Used Smartphone Industry in Malaysia is gaining traction as the majority of the services are expected to go digital, which will require devices that can access the internet.
Covid-19 Impact on Malaysia Used Smartphone Industry: The growing digitization, virtual classes, remote working, and virtual socialization during the Covid-19 pandemic led to smartphones being an indispensable part of life. Digital solutions required compatibility of devices with cutting-edge technology, and it became a driving factor for the rise in sales in the smartphone market. However, the pandemic has caused a hike in the average selling prices of new smartphones due to various factors such as disproportionate supply and demand, an inefficient supply chain, a decline in shipping due to travel restrictions, and fewer new launches. During this period, people were looking for more sustainable options which led to the acceleration of sales of Used Smartphones in Malaysia.
