The market’s robust growth is primarily driven by the changing consumer perception around used vehicles. With automobile manufacturers increasingly entering the used vehicle space and the rise of online dealerships, the trust factor around quality and transparency has significantly improved. As a result, customers are now more open to purchasing used vehicles, especially when supported by warranties, service histories, and certified programs.

Moreover, the regular launch of new car models and the fast pace of automotive technological advancement has made it easier for customers to exchange or sell their old vehicles to upgrade to newer versions. This cycle contributes to a healthy inventory of secondhand vehicles, further feeding market growth.

However, not everything is seamless. The proliferation of car-sharing programs presents a potential challenge to the used car industry. As shared mobility services gain popularity, especially in urban areas, the demand for privately owned vehicles could see a gradual dip, affecting used car transactions in the long run.

The COVID-19 pandemic, though initially disruptive, also presented unexpected opportunities for the used car sector. While the broader automotive industry suffered losses, the used car segment recorded growth in several markets. The economic impact of the pandemic—reduced incomes, tight budgets, and cost-conscious consumers—pushed many buyers toward affordable secondhand cars. Additionally, concerns over public transport and health safety led to a spike in personal vehicle ownership.

By mid-2020, as lockdowns began to ease, the used car market experienced a notable recovery. Consumers, prioritizing social distancing, increasingly turned to pre-owned vehicles as a practical and safe mobility option, accelerating market demand post-pandemic.

The market, as analyzed by UnivDatos, has been segmented across multiple dimensions for a more detailed understanding.

By Vehicle Type:

• Hatchback
• Sedan
• SUV

Among these, hatchbacks are expected to maintain growth through 2027. The popularity of compact vehicles in numerous countries is supporting this segment. The combination of fuel efficiency, affordability, and practicality makes hatchbacks an appealing choice in both emerging and mature markets.

By Fuel Type:

• Petrol
• Diesel
• Others

Petrol-powered vehicles currently dominate the market in terms of volume share. However, the segment may face future challenges due to rising fuel prices, which could influence buyer preferences over time.

• Unorganized

The market is also categorized based on vendors, where organized vendors are gaining traction. Developing economies are witnessing a noticeable rise in organized used car dealerships, driven by the demand for reliable, certified, and well-documented used cars. Buyers are increasingly opting for brands and platforms that offer structured processes, transparent pricing, and after-sales support—attributes that organized vendors are more capable of delivering.
