GURUGRAM, India , Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 

Significant Growth of Digital Forum

Large number of consumers have started selling and buying cars through online auto classifieds, transactional marketplaces and social media due to significant increase in internet and smart phone penetration in the country. Auction Houses are also increasing their spending on online advertising and generating leads through these platforms. Search for major second-hand car brands on the Internet has increased since last year and a half, says Google trends.

Sales Volume in the Market dominated by the Unorganized dealers: Due to the large presence across the nation, independent dealers (Car Tents) dominate the market. These dealers are also increasing their online presence by listing their inventory on their own website or Facebook account or other platforms resulting in the growth of the market.

Target on value-added services: To enhance the margins and to provide a hassle-free experience to the buyers, a large number of dealerships and online platforms are offering value-added services such as online car evaluation, certification, vehicle inspection, financing, insurance and ownership transfer.

Incorporation of Latest Technologies to enhance digital experience: Future Technologies involving Artificial Intelligence & Virtual Reality is expected to enhance the digital buying & selling experience for consumers by offering 360° interior & exterior view of the car, estimating car price online via uploaded images, analyzing consumer behavioral insights to show relevant ads according to interests & more.

Covid-19 led to Increase in Car Sales: Due to Movement Control Order restrictions, the demand for used cars significantly diminished during the peak of Covid-19 pandemic. This was due to low supply and closure of OEM dealerships and local tents during lockdown which was further fueled by decrease in purchasing power which led to postponing of new and used car purchases.  However, as the lockdown restrictions were on ease, there was a significant growth in used car sales as people started to prefer personal vehicles over shared transport. Other factors increasing the sales were favorable tax policies and sale of vehicles by people with multiple car ownership. During the initial months of the year 2020, the demand for used cars in the country remained low, however there was increase in demand in the second half of the year post ease in the lockdown. To drive sales and to increase customer football, the manufacturers are expected to shift focus towards digital medium.

Analysts at Ken Research in their latest publication "Malaysia Used Car Market Outlook To 2026F (Third Edition) – Demand for Used Cars Increased Due to Shift in User preference towards Personal Mobility, induced by Covid-19" observed that post pandemic, Malaysia is in a late growth phase in the used car market in South East Asia and is slowly recovering from the economic crisis. The increasing credit availability in the country along with car loan moratoriums and other incentives under Penjana is driving the growth of the industry. The industry is expected to demonstrate strong growth in the future led by growth of online used car platforms that provide convenience to both buyers and sellers and makes the entire process smoother. The Malaysia Used Car Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% on the basis of GMV over the forecast period 2021-2026F.
