Australia Used Car Market Overview, 2029

The Australia Used Car Market is projected to add more than USD 7 billion from 2024 to 2029, changing lifestyles.

Over the past few years, Australia's used automobile market has seen a steady increase in sales, and in 2023, this trend is anticipated to continue. As more and more Australians search for dependable transportation that doesn't break the bank, experts believe that the demand for reasonably priced vehicles will be a major factor in this increase. Since buyers are eager to pay a good price for a dependable vehicle, this is the perfect moment to sell your old car. In Australia, the safety of used cars is a paramount concern for both buyers and regulatory bodies. The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP), a government-supported initiative, plays a crucial role in this regard. ANCAP provides comprehensive safety ratings not only for new cars but also for used ones. Buyers can access these safety ratings to make well-informed decisions about the safety features and performance of the used cars they are considering. These ratings serve as a valuable resource, influencing the choices of buyers who prioritize safety in their purchasing decisions. Additionally, to enhance transparency and ensure consumer awareness, an online tool facilitates second-hand car recall checks. This tool allows buyers to verify if their selected used car is subject to any outstanding safety recalls. By enabling buyers to access this information easily, the tool promotes transparency in the used car market. This emphasis on safety ratings and recall information not only empowers buyers with the knowledge to prioritize safety but also contributes to shaping the demand for safer models in the used car market. According to the research report "Australia Used Car Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the Australia Used Car Market is projected to add more than USD 7 billion from 2024 to 2029. Used car stores have significantly increased as a result of market competitiveness and the potential for new entrants. Additionally, the improved reliability and quality of used automobiles changed consumer perceptions and boosted used passenger car sales. With a declining margin, ongoing competition, and picky clients, investing in used car management has become necessary in this sector. The high cost of new cars, worries about affordability, a rise in the demand for cars that are not on lease, and the subscription services offered by car dealerships, franchises, and leasing offices are some of the factors that are reportedly driving the growth of the used car industry. Australia's various regions will probably see different trends in the used automobile industry. Used SUVs and trucks may continue to rule rural areas, while EVs and fuel-efficient automobiles may receive more attention in urban areas. Regional online directories and neighborhood-based markets may become more well-known. In the long run, new ownership models like car-sharing and subscription services may have an effect on the conventional used automobile market. However, things like customer tastes and infrastructure advancements will determine how widely they are used. Programs for certified used cars offered by independent inspectors and dealerships will become more popular as consumers look for guarantees regarding the history and condition of the vehicle. Comprehensive car histories and performance data will be made available by data-driven applications and platforms.

In Australia, both the new and used automobile markets benefit greatly from the Fuel Tax Credits Scheme (FTC), which provides incentives for the adoption of ecologically friendly vehicles. This program offers tax credits reserved for new and used vehicles with lower CO2 emissions. Through lowering the cost of these fuel-efficient choices, the FTC indirectly influences and supports the used automobile market. Vehicles that are eligible for the tax credits attract consumers who are searching for economical and eco-friendly options, which raise the demand for fuel-efficient models in the used automobile market. Apart from the FTC, there's the Electric Vehicle Tax Rebate, which is mostly intended for people who buy new electric cars. Nonetheless, it's important to remember that some old electric cars can still be eligible for this incentive, depending on things like age and battery life. Because of this clause, some used electric cars become more appealing to purchasers who are thinking about sustainable mobility options in addition to financial benefits. The combination of these programs encourages a more sustainable and financially feasible approach to vehicle ownership by supporting the adoption of eco-friendly automobiles in the main market as well as extending their positive impact to the used car market. Based on Vehicle Type market is divided into Conventional, Hybrid, and Electric. Owners of conventional automobiles can easily obtain fuel throughout Australia thanks to a well-established network of gas stations. Traditional automobiles are still widely used because of this infrastructure's accessibility and familiarity. Customers are familiar with the upkeep, repair, and operation of conventional automobiles because they have long been the preferred option. A large proportion of the populace finds comfort in conventional automobiles due to their generalized understanding about them. Based on Body Type market is divided into Hatchbacks, Sedan, SUV & MUV, Others. Due to the growing popularity of SUVs over the past five years, which suggests that hatchbacks are currently out of style, the used hatchback automotive category in Australia is expected to hold a sizable market share. Hatchbacks that provide flexibility when driving in confined spaces are therefore becoming more and more popular. The major presence of leading automakers providing a wide selection of hatchback vehicle models supports the expansion of the used car market. Market players provide hatchback cars with tall rooflines and compact shapes. Hatchbacks' regular fitment of split-folding rear seatbacks has increased the sector's market value.

Based on Fuel Type market is divided into Petrol, Diesel, Others. Even though petrol automobiles still account for a sizable portion of the used car market in Australia, a number of indicators, particularly with regard to newer models, point to a shift towards hybrid and electric cars. Nonetheless, petrol automobiles continue to have a place since they provide special benefits to particular consumer groups and in certain markets. Australia is known for producing fuel-efficient cars that are dependable and long-lasting. Many consumers, particularly those from older generations, feel more at ease with well-established gasoline engine technology and easily accessible maintenance components, which may lower overall ownership costs. In general, the depreciation rates of older gasoline-powered cars are lower than those of modern hybrid or electric vehicles. If maintaining value for a future resale is more important to used car buyers than fuel efficiency, this may appeal to them. Based on Size market is divided into Mid-Size, Compact, SUVs. SUVs and MUVs are perfect for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and people who lead active lifestyles because they have roomy interiors, lots of cargo space, and higher ground clearance. They offer the adaptability to manage everything from regular errands to weekend excursions and explorations. SUVs and MUVs accommodate the needs of parents and kids, providing comfortable seating for several passengers and lots of space for luggage and equipment, as nuclear families become more and more frequent. Airbags and driver-assistance systems are just two examples of the cutting-edge safety features that modern SUVs and MUVs offer, giving families and individuals who value safety peace of mind. The driving experience is further improved by features including cozy seating, climate control, and entertainment options. Based on Vendor Type market is divided into Organized, Unorganized. The used automobile industry in Australia is characterized by a thriving 'unorganized' section that includes individual transactions and independent dealerships. Meanwhile, the organized segment, which consists of huge dealerships and established platforms, is experiencing tremendous development and increasing relevance. By providing guarantees, warranties, and verified vehicle histories, platforms like as Carsales, CarMax, and big dealership networks lower the danger of fraud and other hidden issues that are frequently connected to the unorganized portion of the market. This fosters trust and draws in customers looking for transaction security and comfort. Reputable dealerships and platforms have built strong brands with a history of dependable service and satisfied customers. Customers looking for assurance and confidence in their used automobile purchase are drawn to this reputation.
