Back Market has been named to TIME’s 2026 TIME100 Most Influential Companies list and highlighted among the top 10 retail industry leaders, underscoring the strategic weight of its refurbished-tech marketplace model. TIME cited the company’s rapid U.S. expansion and its role in reshaping consumer technology purchasing habits as key factors behind the recognition, signaling growing mainstream acceptance of refurbished devices.
Founded in 2014, Back Market now serves 18 million customers across 17 countries and reached approximately $3.5 billion in gross merchandise value in 2025, reflecting strong global and especially U.S. demand for lower-cost, higher-margin refurbished electronics. CEO and co-founder Thibaud Hug de Larauze framed the accolade as evidence of a broader shift toward more sustainable and cost-efficient tech consumption, reinforcing the firm’s strategic positioning in the circular economy and bolstering its brand with consumers, partners, and potential investors.
