The global used phone market has grown rapidly in recent years, with strong demand from emerging markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa, bringing huge opportunities for used phone export.

Used smartphone exports hit a record high in 2025, with Southeast Asia becoming a key destination, where demand for iPhone and mid-to-high-end Android models is particularly strong.

Used iPhone grading is a key part of export trade. Common grades include New, 99% (Like New), 95% (Light Signs), 90% (Visible Wear), evaluated mainly by cosmetic wear, screen condition and battery health.
