Some Projections for the Used Car Industry in 2022

As Indians shunned public transport for private vehicles, the demand for second-hand cars soared during the pandemic, and for good reasons.

Used cars are reasonably priced, so you can easily afford one with your savings or a used car loan. Thus, second-hand cars are now within reach for a lot more citizens. So it's no surprise many experts predict a steady growth in pre-owned car sales in the coming years. 

Here are some interesting projections of the used car industry in 2022.

India's used car market may reach 50 million USD by 2026 

India's pre-owned car market was valued at 27 billion USD in 2020. According to a study by Mordor Intelligence, it is expected to reach 50 billion USD by 2026. This number indicates that the used car industry will potentially register a CAGR of 15% during this period.  

This rise comes as no surprise given the pandemic's positive impact on the industry. Because of reduced income, buyers started looking for alternatives to brand new cars and pre-owned cars became the immediate options. Thus, also signalling a rise in the used car loan industry in 2022.
