According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Used Car Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2024-2032," the global used car market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.32% during 2024-2032. A used car, also known as a second-hand car, is a pre-owned vehicle available for resale after inspection, refurbishment, and repairs. It includes hatchbacks, sedans, minivans, sports utility vehicles (SUVs), convertibles, station wagons, luxury cars, hybrids, and coupes as common vehicles. A used car is sold through various outlets, such as independent and franchise car dealers, rental car companies, private party sales, auctions, and leasing offices. It is widely purchased by first-time buyers, car subscription services, and individuals facing budget restrictions. As compared to a new car, a used car is cost-effective, has a slower depreciation rate, and offers lower charges for insurance, registration, and customization.
Global Used Car Market Trends:
The rising concern among consumers regarding the high costs and affordability of new vehicles is one of the primary factors driving the market growth. Furthermore, the widespread product adoption owing to the rising environmental concerns among the masses, as it aids in minimizing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and spillage of battery chemicals associated with the manufacturing and disposal of vehicles, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to collect and analyze vehicle data, provide detailed information on the vehicle's state and damages, and help dealers in calculating the right price for the used vehicle is positively influencing the market growth. Moreover, the rising adoption of online platforms to sell used cars as they provide transparency and enhance user convenience through additional features, such as the enormous database of photos and videos of used cars, instant financial services, and the ability to monitor documents, performance, and service records of the vehicles, is favoring the market growth. Other factors, including rising consumer expenditure capacities, rapid digitalization of retail processes, rising demand for luxurious cars, and increasing internet penetration, are anticipated to drive market growth.
