REWA and REWA EU Showcase Advanced Display Technologies at Back Forum 2026

On October 14, REWA and REWA EU gathered in Paris, France, to attend the 5th edition of Back Forum 2026, hosted by Back Market. It was a great opportunity to connect with leading sellers, partners, and innovators in the global second-hand device market and exchange insights on industry trends and future opportunities.

Back Forum 2026: Opportunities Remain Huge, While Quality Remains Essential

Back Forum 2026 continued the industry-wide discussions from last year, with a further focus on how businesses can capture market opportunities and address shared challenges.

At Back Forum 2026, industry professionals widely recognized the significant growth potential that remains in the refurbished tech industry, particularly in three areas:

• Untapped Trade-In Potential – Unlock more value from underutilized devices
• Consumer Education and Trust Gap – Turning consumer awareness of refurbished products into purchasing confidence
• Growing Demand, Dynamic Market, Captive growth opportunities through smart pricing and refurbishment strategies

As an integral part of the circular technology ecosystem, repair businesses should continue to drive innovation and improvement across their operations, and pursue high-quality development. From sourcing, grading, and testing to product itself, logistics, and after-sales support, greater collaboration and resource integration across the whole value chain are essential to driving sustainable industry growth.

This Year, What Advanced Repair Technologies Did REWA Showcase?

During discussions with industry professionals, REWA focused on two common challenges in refurbished device processing: display defects (like MURA patterns and uneven backlighting) and compatibility issues (such as poor installation fit). Continuous advances in repair technologies and component manufacturing are helping address product functionality issues (such as ghost touch).

Having attended Back Forum for three consecutive years since 2024, REWA has gained valuable insights into the key demands of the European refurbished device market in recent years:

• Higher product quality standards: with display performance, touch functionality, and physical specifications as close to OEM as possible.
• More convenient installation experience: with plug-and-play functionality and no “Unknown Part” notifications.
• More standardized repair procedures: improving overall operational efficiency for repair and refurbishment businesses.

With over 10 years’ experience in the electronics repair industry, REWA has remained committed to the selection, development, quality control and supply of high-quality repair parts and components. At this year’s Back Forum, REWA showcased its latest display repair solution, REPART Ultra Plus Soft OLED, a more competitive alternative to expensive and inconsistently available OEM parts.

The series delivers OEM-level performance in display quality, touch responsiveness, and installation fit, providing end users with an experience that closely matches that of original displays across the entire industry chain.

REWA’s top-tier diagnostic-compatible screens feature CSOT manufacturing technology and native sensor flex, delivering excellent display performance and a more time-efficient installation process. These solutions are designed to help sellers simplify installations and improve operational efficiency.

In addition, REWA has achieved a technical breakthrough in its Samsung S and Note series screen assemblies, now delivering the same screen design with 1:1 square corners as the original screens, with selected models supporting a 120Hz refresh rate.

REWA EU: Supporting the Local Electronics Repair Industry in Europe

Building on REWA’s strengths in global supply chain integration, product selection, technological innovation, and quality control, together with GSM Parts Center (GPC)’s extensive experience serving the local European electronics repair market, REWA EU was established to provide European customers with a wider product portfolio, more competitive pricing, faster local fulfillment, and more professional technical support.

Since September 2025, REWA and REWA EU have attended the event together, further combining global supply chain advantages with local service capabilities in Europe. This collaboration represents not only a deeper level of business integration but also a strategic step toward expanding into the European market in response to industry trends.

The business practices developed through more than a year of collaboration have validated this model’s feasibility and value, which also aligns with an industry perspective shared by Back Market on LinkedIn this year:

Progress requires the whole ecosystem. No company can move the industry forward alone. We need to align around shared goals and make sure different voices shape the conversation.

Collaboration enables businesses to address market risks together, strengthen their competitiveness in an increasingly challenging market, and achieve long-term, mutually beneficial growth.

Conclusion

REWA’s commitment to supporting the long-term growth of repair businesses is built on strict raw material selection, an end-to-end quality control system, and an in-depth understanding of the global electronics repair industry. In October this year, REWA Tech’s YouTube channel officially surpassed one million subscribers, reflecting the global repair community’s recognition of REWA’s technical content and long-term commitment to the industry.

As Back Market stated, “The opportunity is still huge. This is only the beginning.” REWA firmly believes that REWA EU will continue to fulfill its mission of empowering European repair businesses and helping them achieve long-term, sustainable growth in an increasingly competitive market.
