The EU’s Right to Repair rules aim to keep products in use longer and make repair simpler and cheaper for consumers. For mobile and consumer electronics traders, the shifts around repairability, spare parts access and extended guarantees will reshape resale and returns practices.
Repair obligations strengthen: Manufacturers must enable repair for more products, including smartphones.
Extended guarantees: Choosing repair can extend legal guarantees, improving consumer confidence in refurbished devices.
Parts access improves: Better availability and information should support professional repair and refurbishment markets.
For wholesalers and refurbishers, the direction is clear: repair and reuse are being prioritised over replacement, changing expectations for after-sales support and stock lifecycle planning.
Plan parts sourcing: Secure reliable spare-parts channels and update repair SLAs.
Update warranty workflows: Reflect extended guarantees when customers choose repair.
Position refurbished credibly: Lean on improved repair rights to boost resale value and trust.
