Increasing Online Presence: The year 2020 saw a tremendous increase in the usage of the online space for buying and selling cars. Although online classified platforms such as Carmudi, AutoDeal, Carousell, and Philkotse were gaining traction for quite some time, the pandemic made it absolutely necessary for most of the dealers to have an online presence. Approximately 80% of the lead generation for used cars in the year 2020, happened via the online platforms. Several brands introduced the concept of virtual showrooms to promote minimum contact and social distancing between buyers and sellers.

Preference to Own a Personal Car over using Public Transportation: Since the onset of the pandemic, public transport and ride sharing are no longer considered to be a safe option. Therefore, a number of individuals who used to travel by public mode of transportation have started preferring to own a private car. Since buying a brand-new car is somewhat expensive, this population demographic has started looking into the used cars segment.

Platform Economy Carving a Niche in the Used Cars Segment: The Used Cars segment (specifically the online classifieds market) has transformed into a platform economy. Buyers and sellers of used cars do not have to look for an intermediary but can directly connect with each other on the classified platforms.

Impact on Used Car Sales due to Covid-19: Multiple trends in the used cars industry were observed since the onset of Covid-19. Although, the used car market witnessed significant reduction in sales (similar to the new car market) in 2020 during the months of March, April and May, it was on the upswing once the lockdown was lifted. The increase in the sales in the following months was somewhat able to mitigate for the losses incurred during the months having complete nationwide lockdown (March to May 2020).

Increased Financing Facilities: Although a finance crunch was observed during Covid, the financing facilities had been historically growing for the used cars segment. Several foreign financing companies leveraged the vacuum in this space, following which, a number of local banks entered the finance segment of the used cars industry.

Analysts at Ken Research in their latest publication “Philippines Used Car Market Outlook To 2025 (Second edition): The Pandemic Incited Increased Demand for Used Cars coupled with Increased Internet Penetration provides for Resilience in the Used Cars Market during the Economic Crisis–” observed that Philippines used car market is in a growth and is gradually recovering from the economic crisis after the pandemic. The increasing credit appetite of banks fueled by competition from foreign financing companies is giving a boost to the used car industry of Philippines. The industry is expected to demonstrate a moderated growth in the short-medium term fueled by growth of online used car platforms that provide convenience to both buyers and sellers.
