Philippines Used Car Market

Market Overview

The Philippines used car market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period (2022 - 2027).

With the COVID-19 outbreak, consumers were seen to be more concerned about personal health and hygiene. As a result, the preference for private transportation increased rather than the public transportation system. The shift in consumer behavior and preferences created new opportunities for the Philippines' used car market. Considering these opportunities several new players and OEMs are expected to enter the market. The pandemic demonstrated that, while the new car market becomes more vulnerable, the used car market becomes more resilient.

Used car for sale in the Philippines has evolved at an incredible rate over the last decade. Emerging countries, such as the Philippines, create a favorable ecosystem for used car ownership when compared to developed countries. The Philippines is one of the region's fastest-growing markets, with used car sales skyrocketing as a result of a rising population, improved opportunities, affordability, and a higher GDP growth rate.

Despite the fact that used passenger car sales are increasing, there is always a risk factor involved in purchasing a used car. The trust between buyers and sellers regarding the quality of used cars has not been completely established, which may have an impact on target market growth.

Key Market Trends

Organized Players are expected to witness higher growth rates during the forecast period

The unorganized players control the majority of the used car market in Philippines. Furthermore, the unorganized players do not provide any warranty on pre-owned vehicles. Some sellers commit fraud by re-painting and removing dents from accident vehicles in order to conceal their damage and obtain a falsely inflated value, which causes buyers to be wary of purchasing used cars. As a result, the higher rate of malpractices and unorganized dealers' larger market share pose a threat to the growth of the used car market.

However, used car sales through organized players have increased in recent years. When compared to unorganized market players, organized players provide better service and value to the customer. They offer buyers a diverse selection of used vehicles to choose from. Quality engineers have certified the vehicles available with these players. As a result, the risk of purchasing low-quality used cars has been significantly reduced. Organized players have contributed to the transparency of the used car market and the establishment of fair prices for both sellers and buyers. This has contributed to an increase in used passenger car sales in the Philippines. For instance

• Toyota has a strong customer base in the Philippines, and the Toyota Certified Used Vehicle (TCUV, or simply Toyota Certified) was created to reward customer loyalty by providing the best price for their vehicles when they sell or trade in. Toyota customers can also use TCUV to purchase used cars that have met Toyota's high-quality standards.

Based on such developments, the organized segment in the target market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
