1. Nearly 52% of the World’s population has Internet access – that’s just under 4 BILLION people. Those numbers are heavily influenced by North America and Europe where Internet penetration is over 80% for each continent.

​

2. Phone repair is a major segment of the industry. IBISWorld estimates the yearly revenue of the cell phone repair industry at $4 billion, with an annual growth rate of 3%.

​

3. SquareTrade, a company that insures smartphones, reports “a cellphone in the U.S. breaks every two seconds.” Fragile LCD assembly, short battery life, and other breakable parts also contribute to a stable market for smartphones repair shops. Tablet repair is also quickly gaining market share.

​

4. Beyond mobile device repair and maintenance services, prospective franchisees can also choose from franchises that provide training or education, marketing support, gaming, or even security initiatives.

​

5. One of the advantages of choosing a franchise instead of an independent operation is brand recognition in a buying situation that requires trust. Franchisees also enjoy the added benefits of marketing support and sometimes lead generation from a central call operation center.
