Some 21% said Brexit price hikes would prompt them to switch allegiance from their usual brand of technology, while 42% said they would now consider purchasing secondhand technology. Another 28% said they do not intend to buy any technology until the effects of Brexit price rises have stabilized. Women are more likely than men to shop around following Brexit price increases, with 61% of females polled saying they are willing to do so, compared to 56% of men.
