The surge in the need for consumer electronics is projected to propel the expansion of the wholesale electronic markets, as well as the agents and brokers market. Consumer electronics, which are electronic goods intended for everyday, non-commercial, or professional usage by consumers, are seeing an increase in demand. This is especially true for computers and televisions, and this burgeoning demand benefits wholesalers of electronics and agents and brokers alike. They engage in the mass buying of new items to be retailed at wholesale prices to stores, as well as in the procurement of used electronics to be recycled or resold. For example, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, a UK-based global professional services network that offers audit, consulting, tax, and advisory services, reported in February 2022 that sales of consumer electronics around the globe have demonstrated fluctuating growth rates in the last three years. Computer sales grew by 34%, television sets by 12%, and smartphones by 1%. Consequently, the growing consumer demand for electronics is fuelling the growth of the wholesale electronics markets and the agents and brokers market.
