Asset value recovery is often overlooked in traditional models of asset management. While assets typically lose value after acquisition, the depreciation curve doesn’t always follow a predictable, linear path. There’s an untapped opportunity within this curve—one where asset value can rebound, offering a significant advantage to those who understand the dynamics of supply and demand.

Understanding the Classic Depreciation Model

The classic depreciation model suggests that an asset's value declines steadily over time, eventually nearing scrap value. However, this model doesn’t always reflect reality, especially in today’s market where certain factors can cause a recovery in value. This recovery happens when supply decreases—due to phase-out, discontinuation, or reduced production—while demand remains for essential components.

The Hidden Opportunity: Value Recovery

As products are discontinued, the supply shrinks, but businesses still need these assets for operations or parts. This creates a scarcity that drives value back up. At this point, the classic depreciation curve no longer holds; instead, a rise in asset value emerges, offering a second life for these products.

• Why does this happen?
  • Supply decreases
  • Demand remains constant or increases
  • Scarcity drives value back up

This period of recovered value is a crucial stage where ARCA Supply excels. We understand the market well enough to recognize when an asset has reached its low value and is poised for a rebound.
