Back Market refurbished electronics

Back Market is the world's leading marketplace dedicated to professionaly refurbished technology. Founded in Paris, France, in 2014, the company does not manufacture or refurbish products itself. Instead, it operates as a curated platform connecting consumers with over 1,500 vetted professional refurbishers globally. Consequently, the products sold through the platform are manufactured and refurbished in various countries depending on the specific vendor and the original brand of the device (such as Apple, Samsung, or Sony).

Since its inception, Back Market has been a pioneer in the circular economy, aiming to reduce electronic waste by extending the lifespan of devices. The company has experienced significant growth, achieving 'unicorn' status with a valuation reaching approximately $5.7 billion. As of 2026, Back Market remains a privately held company supported by major global investment firms, continuing its mission to make refurbished tech a mainstream alternative to new products through rigorous quality standards and a 12-month warranty on all items.
