The Grade A segment accounted for 47.3% share in 2025. Strong growth is being driven by improvements in product quality and the increasing availability of devices sourced through organized replacement programs, corporate device upgrades, and certified refurbishment channels. Consumers are demonstrating a greater willingness to invest in premium refurbished products that closely resemble new devices in terms of appearance, performance, and reliability. Enhanced testing procedures, comprehensive restoration processes, and extended warranty coverage are further contributing to the attractiveness of Grade A products. As consumer confidence continues to increase, demand for higher-quality refurbished laptops is expected to remain strong throughout the forecast period.
The indirect sales channel generated 68.7% share in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6% during 2026-2035. This segment maintains a dominant position due to the widespread influence of online marketplaces, third-party retailers, and digital commerce platforms across the Asia Pacific region. The channel's strength is largely attributed to its ability to offer extensive product availability and a broad range of specifications from multiple suppliers within a single purchasing environment. Consumers increasingly favor indirect channels because they provide greater convenience, competitive pricing, and access to diverse product options. Continued growth in e-commerce adoption, improvements in logistics infrastructure, and increasing trust in certified refurbished products are expected to further strengthen the position of indirect distribution networks within the market.

In addition, the availability of physical retail locations offering product inspection, technical verification, and customer support continues to reinforce buyer confidence.
