India Used Car Market Size and Forecast (2018-2030)
Description
Executive Summary
India Used Car Market Revenue
The India used car market has experienced steady revenue growth, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% from 2018 to 2023, reaching a total of USD 35.46 billion. The sales volume of pre-owned vehicles saw a notable increase, with approximately 4.6 million units sold in the first nine months of 2023, compared to 4.2 million units in 2022. Major regions such as Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad have emerged as key hubs for used car demand in 2023, highlighting the continued expansion of the second-hand car market in India. This growth reflects a broader trend across the India pre-owned car market, including key cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Pune, driven by both traditional used car dealers and the rise of online used car sales platforms.
India Used Car Market Trends
The rise of digitization has played a crucial role in addressing persistent challenges in the India used car market. This digital transformation has enhanced business operations, increased transaction transparency, and boosted consumer trust. With the continuous rise in new car prices, the value of second-hand vehicles in India has also climbed. However, car ownership remains comparatively low in India, with only about 8% of the population owning a four-wheeler, in contrast to developed markets such as the US, China, and Europe, where ownership rates are significantly higher.
A key indicator of the growing demand for used cars in India is the shortening of the car ownership cycle. The younger demographic is increasingly selling their vehicles within 5-6 years of purchase, compared to the previous trend where cars were kept for 10-12 years. This shift in vehicle lifecycle patterns highlights the changing attitude toward car ownership in India.
Strategic mergers, acquisitions, and investments by major players are reshaping the used car market landscape in India, aimed at strengthening capabilities and offering more comprehensive solutions. The demand for pre-owned vehicles is higher in non-metro areas, although supply remains concentrated in urban centers. Small towns are anticipated to be the main drivers of growth in the used car sector, with companies that cater to these regions expected to gain a competitive edge. The market is evolving rapidly, with substantial growth projected due to the growing acceptance of pre-owned cars in India. Businesses embracing sustainability, affordability, and strategic partnerships are poised for success, particularly in regions like Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune, where used car dealerships are becoming increasingly prominent.
