The rise in financial literacy, better credit, and multiple trusted dealers are all likely driving the growth curve. Surveys predict that the pre-owned car market will cross 70 lakh units by 2026 from current 38 lakh level. This is almost double in under five years.

Demand and supply has been the way of business since centuries. Both are directly proportional or at least companies and customers try to make them proportional. The rising demand of pre-owned cars is fine-tuning the industry. Companies are focusing on quality and have placed customers at the center of business. Buying/selling experience, quality, and after-sale trust are the key drivers of the new-generation pre-owned market.

Talking of buying/selling experience, the industry has used technology as an edge. From outreach to potential customers to selling/ buying a car, the transaction has moved to Digital. The rise of technology supports sustainable business. When it comes to buying a pre-owned car, the primary concern of the customer is quality. New-age dealers are following strict checks and are tweaking the car to its best form before they are up for sale. This extra step ensures quality to customers.
