Issue 3: Constructive Momentum with Rising Standards

Momentum Rating: 7/10.

We evaluated the industry on a scale from 1 to 10. A rating of 1 describes an industry facing significant economic headwinds and systemic disruption. At the other extreme, a 10 depicts a sector at peak performance, characterized by substantial and sustainable expansion.

We rate this week’s developments a solid 7 out of 10. The score reflects a decidedly positive week driven by tangible progress on multiple fronts, from policy and secondary markets, to infrastructure, that strengthens the industry’s foundation. However, this momentum is tempered by emerging competitive pressures and inherent risks that accompany this market maturation, preventing a higher score. The climate is one of constructive, incremental strengthening, and savvy ITAD companies should work to strengthen their position.

Here are some of the topline details worth mentioning:
