Global Used Car Market Overview and Outlook
- Globally, the used car market continues to grow at a healthy pace on the back of higher income levels and disposable income leading to people purchasing cars or people with two-wheelers transitioning to four-wheelers.
- The entry of organized players in the market especially in developing and emerging markets has made people more inclined to go for a car purchase. Other contributing factors to the market growth include increasing demand for luxury cars (used vehicles), shorter car ownership periods compared to earlier times and higher cost of ownership associated with new vehicles.
- In emerging economies such as India, the market for used cars used to be largely unorganized and restricted to a few organized companies. However, this has changed in the past few years with several organized players entering the used car market, as well as OEMs introducing their used car business units to mitigate the slowdown with new car sales.
- This rapid change in the prevailing business models and in customer preferences towards use of digital channels has led to the Asia Pacific region being the largest market for used cars, followed by North America and Europe
- Going forward, the used car market in India is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10-12% amid a slowdown in the economy and declining income levels, at least in the near term
