How is the IT asset disposition and electronics recycling doing as we close the year 2023?  What is certain is that by the time industry stakeholders took our third quarter survey, they already had clear visibility on how the year will end. And I can say that one way of describing the ending is that the glass is both half full and half empty. Half full, because many ITADs, if not most, may have met their revenue targets. Half empty because profitability projections may not have been met. So most in the industry will probably move to 2024 largely unscathed and likely ready to fight another year, but there are not enough profits to say real value was created during the year and so goes the year-end bonuses.

#Qualcomm’s huge ambitions in the #PC market: The latest to announce a big move in the processor space is Qualcomm, which promised that its forthcoming #Snapdragon X Elite processor will outperform those of #Apple, #Intel, and #AMD. It has even said that it would outperform Intel Core i7 processors and that it would be faster than Apple’s M2 chip in reaching peak multi-thread performance. Big statement but exciting news and an indicator of major transformation we are likely to experience next year. More on this at: https//TechMarkets.news and https://ComplianceStandards.com

The US released a strong labor market and here David Daoud of #ComplianceStandards looks at the implications on the #electronics recycling and #ITAD sector.

Earlier this week, HP Inc. was one of the latest tech companies to announce layoffs involving up to 6,000 people of its current 51,000 staff. In the broad PC space, demand has really taken a hit in the third quarter this year in demand contraction that does not feel good for device vendors. Demand for enterprise IT is also challenged. Will that affect the ITAD space? Probably yes, argues David Daoud of Compliance Standards LLC.

In this podcast, David Daoud, Principal Analyst at Compliance Standards LLC addresses the booming device market and concludes it is good news for electronic recyclers, ITAD services vendors and those involved in the secondary market.
