Asia Pacific Used Car Market Growth

Second-hand automotive retailers operating in India’s organised sector recorded a year-on-year growth of 30% in 2023. This can be attributed to their growing digital presence, which has enabled consumers to compare vehicles, check prices, and confirm their specifications. As per industry reports, the demand for used vehicles in non-metropolitan regions of India grew from 55% to 65%, indicating rising consumer disposable incomes and improved access to financing options. The average age of a used vehicle in India has also declined from 6 years to 4 years, which is also favourably shaping the Asia Pacific used car market outlook.

Vietnam is also witnessing a surge in demand for second-hand vehicles, due to increasing vehicle ownership costs and high tax rates. With the growth of middle-class population, the demand for cost-effective and fuel-efficient vehicle models has been rising steadily. Nearly 8 out of 10 most popular used car models in Vietnam are Japanese, indicating high consumer preference for durable vehicles which have a high resale value. The increasing demand for safe and high-quality vehicles in Vietnam is also anticipated to fuel growth of the Asia Pacific used car market over the forecast period.
