Globally, the growth of online sales channels also changed the overall consumption of the used cars. As online automotive retailing accounts for the small percentage of total used car sales, there is a significant growth potential for this segment. Moreover, automotive dealers use their websites as a sales and marketing generation channel to drive buyers to the showroom floor where the consumers complete the purchase. However, nowadays, consumers are looking for eCommerce options for the entire purchase. Also, there is a rise in the number of digital sellers such as Vroom; Carvana Inc.; eBay Motors; and Shift Technologies Inc. that specifically cater to online vehicle buyers, and increase the competitiveness of the market.
Escalating investment in the SUV segment is also one of the key reasons which cater to the demand traction in the market. Luxury brands have invested in launching vehicles in the SUV segment to add to their existing sports collection inventory. With the availability of supply chain network of second-hand cars in the market, there is huge traction expected in terms of volume sales in the market. Additionally, the significant change in people transporting habits such as opting for individual mobility with own vehicle are expected to create great upsurge in the market.
Further, the COVID-19 outbreak will increase the demand for compact and mid sizes cars at affordable prices. With the fear of getting infected, people are opting for private transportations rather than public transportation. This is one of the key driving factors for the used car sales in this pandemic period and aftermath. Furthermore, one of the notable phenomena emerging nowadays is the sales of petrol vehicles as fossil fuels are cheaper with the outbreak. Also, the impact of COVID-19 is visible in the on the automotive industry with the sales surge in the market for used cars despite plummeted growth in the new car sales segment. Majority of the customers are looking for more affordable means of transport that would be safe, and reasonable to buy (both ergonomically and economically). With employment uncertainties and variable cash flows in the economies, individuals would prefer used cars over new cars.
