In 2025, refurbished networking equipment is gaining popularity among small to mid-sized businesses (SMEs) and IT integrators worldwide. As new hardware costs rise, many buyers are turning to refurbished Cisco switches, Fortinet firewalls, and HPE servers to optimize IT budgets.
These products—often certified, tested, and backed by warranty—provide near-original performance at up to 60% lower costs. Popular in Southeast Asia, South America, and parts of Africa, this segment allows businesses to access enterprise-level infrastructure without large capital expenditure.
SOHO resellers play a vital role by bridging supply between trusted refurbishers and growing businesses. With increasing awareness of sustainable IT practices, the global refurbished equipment market is expected to grow at double-digit rates in 2025.
