The pre-owned or second-hand car market has been growing steadily over the past decade. Though there's still a long way to go for it to become organised, there's been a significant change in the way this market has grown over the years. A study done by Mahindra First Choice Wheels and published in the third edition of the "Indian Blue Book" points out to this very fact. The study says that in FY2018-19, the pre-owned car market has grown steadily and has crossed the 4 million unit mark making it bigger than the new car market. The new car market in FY2018-19 stood at 3.4 million units, though a big growth from FY16-17, it's still far behind the used car market.

The study goes on to state that there's been a surge in the organised and semi-organised dealers. Infact, the organised dealers have gone up by 11 per cent, which is a hike of 2 per cent, while the semi-organised dealers have risen by 3 per cent to 44 per cent when compared to figures in FY16-17. In fact, over the past decade, the organised channel has almost doubled its share from 10 per cent in FY10-11 to 18 per cent in FY-18-29.

The good part though is that the unorganised dealers have gone down by 5 per cent to 45 per cent in FY18-19 but it's the gap in productivity between the organised and semi-organised market encourages dealers to move to a semi-organised set up.

As far as preference is concerned, 75 per cent pre-owned car purchases comprise hatchbacks and sedans which is a trend seen in the new car market too. That said the outlook for FY 2021-22 for the used car business is very bright. According to the research, the pre-owned car industry in India will reach between 6.7 to 7.2 million car a year by FY21-22 and this means that the dealer productivity too will be close to 15 cars a month on an average which is clearly a big boost for this sector.
