Market Driver

Car subscription services offer consumers an alternative to owning or leasing a vehicle with an all-inclusive monthly fee, including roadside assistance, insurance, and maintenance. These services enable users to change cars with short notice, providing flexibility to switch between sedans, SUVs, or sports cars. Some providers focus on luxury cars, catering to consumers who cannot afford their high cost of ownership or leasing. Volvo, for instance, offers its Care by Volvo service. Used luxury cars are increasingly in demand for these subscriptions, creating growth opportunities for players in the global used car market. This trend is expected to drive market expansion during the forecast period.

The used car market is witnessing significant trends as consumers prioritize fuel-efficient and eco-friendly vehicles to reduce their carbon footprint. Aging vehicle fleets are being replaced with modern cars, offering advanced safety features, durability, and reliability. Online platforms provide transparency in the buying process, allowing diverse consumers to access inventory, prices, and vehicle histories from the comfort of their homes. Regulatory changes and environmental concerns are driving the demand for eco-friendly vehicles, such as hybrid and electric cars. Trusted e-commerce platforms offer mobile apps, vehicle history reports, and virtual vehicle inspections for added convenience. As fuel prices fluctuate, the importance of fuel efficiency and adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and infotainment systems continues to grow. The future outlook for the used car market is promising, with regulatory incentives, rebates, and fast-charging infrastructure supporting the shift towards modern, eco-friendly vehicles.

Challenges

.

The used car market is experiencing shifts due to changing consumer preferences and economic factors. In some markets, such as China, the rise of car-sharing services has led to a decline in car ownership as consumers opt for more cost-effective alternatives to personal mobility. This trend is driven by the high percentage of time a private car spends parked and the cost savings from shared maintenance and usage. In China, car-sharing services have a use rate of up to 60%, compared to the estimated 93% of time a private car spends unused. This optimum use of cars, combined with lower taxi rates in China, creates a strong demand for car-sharing services, particularly during peak hours and extreme weather conditions. In the global taxi market, a gap of 100,000-200,000 units exists due to rising incomes and stringent regulations. This gap is being filled by the growth of car-sharing services, with major contributions from both domestic and foreign manufacturers and municipal governments. Similarly, in Brazil, car-sharing operators like Fleety, Zazcar, and Joycar offer cheaper rates than taxis or car rentals, making them an attractive option for consumers. This increasing popularity of car-sharing services is expected to decrease the demand for used cars, contributing to the growth of the global used car market.

.

The used car market faces various challenges in the current business environment. Gasoline and diesel vehicles are giving way to electric and hybrid alternatives, affecting sales volume. Traditional offline dealerships compete with online sales channels, including auto marketplaces like Ebay Inc. OEMs, banks, NBFCs, and insurance companies play crucial roles, impacting affordability for buyers. Luxury vehicles and used car shipment present unique challenges due to high overhead costs. Quality and reliability are key concerns for customers, especially for used passenger cars. Online players offer virtual reality tools to enhance buyer position and symmetry of information. Age groups and buyer preferences vary, requiring dealership networks to cater to retail models and independent dealers. Brand loyalty and consumer expectations influence sales, while budget constraints impact price-sensitive buyers. Franchise dealers and OEM involvement in used car sales are growing trends. The organized segment is expanding, but challenges remain in maintaining consumer trust and ensuring transparency. Overall, the used car market requires continuous innovation and adaptation to meet the evolving needs of customers.
