United States Used Car Market: Growth Prospects and Sizing Forecast to 2028

Posted by Kumar on October 27th, 2023

Introduction

The United States used car market is poised for substantial growth during the forthcoming years. This projection is substantiated by a comprehensive report from TechSci Research, titled "United States Used Car Market – By Region, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2028." Several key factors contribute to the anticipated surge in this market. These include the rising prices of new vehicles, increased interest rates, enhanced affordability, slower depreciation rates, and the prevalence of manufacturer-certified programs. The market dynamics also underscore the preference for used cars over new ones in the United States, driven by factors like affordability, a broader array of vehicle choices, and lower insurance costs. Used cars, in contrast to their new counterparts, exhibit minimal depreciation over time, with new cars experiencing a substantial decline in value during their initial 2-3 years. Furthermore, the demand for used cars is notably less volatile, particularly during economic downturns.

Factors Facilitating Market Growth

The growth of the United States used car market is propelled by several schemes and policies that aim to bolster the industry. Notably, many manufacturers offer certification programs for used vehicles, encompassing rigorous inspections and refurbishments. These programs instill confidence in consumers regarding the quality and reliability of pre-owned vehicles. Financing options tailored for used cars, such as loans and dealer financing, enhance affordability and accessibility, making ownership of used vehicles more attainable. Additionally, certain dealerships offer exchange programs, allowing customers to trade in their existing vehicles for used cars.

Vehicle Type Segmentation

The United States used car market is segmented according to the type of vehicles available. This categorization encompasses hatchbacks, sedans, and SUVs/MPVs. Among these segments, SUVs and sedans emerge as the most popular used cars. SUVs, in particular, have experienced robust sales in recent years, owing to their versatility, spacious interiors, and powerful engines.

Propulsion Type Analysis

The used car market in the United States is also divided based on propulsion type, distinguishing between internal combustion engines and electric vehicles. While electric vehicle sales are on the rise, the market share of electric cars is relatively smaller compared to internal combustion engine vehicles. Internal combustion engine-based vehicles have maintained their dominance in the United States over the past few decades, and it is anticipated that it will take time for electric vehicles to gain a significant market share. Consequently, most used vehicles in the United States continue to be powered by internal combustion engines.

Sales Channel Preferences

The United States used car market is further segregated based on the preferred sales channels, including online and offline avenues. Online channels have gained considerable popularity due to their ability to provide in-depth information about available vehicles, facilitate price comparisons across various dealers, and offer the convenience of browsing and purchasing from the comfort of one's own home. Nevertheless, the offline channel remains relevant as some consumers prefer physically inspecting the condition of the used cars before making a purchase decision.
