Deloitte Digital Consumer Trends is a global survey on technology, media and telecommunications. Fieldwork takes place annually between April and May to ask people how they use, experience, and buy all manner of digital products. In the UK, questions were asked to a nationally representative sample of over 4000 people.

In this report, we cover the circular economy potential for smartphones. It explores why people, generally, do not trade-in or sell their old devices and assesses why people usually buy brand-new devices, and the barriers that exists to adoption of second-hand phones.

Read our full report to see how the industry and regulators might create change to grow the market for used smartphones.
