CPO Programs and Electric Units Drive Future Transformative Growth Potential
The used car market has undergone changes since the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by soaring prices and supply shortages of new vehicles that have suppressed demand. OEMs selling vehicles directly to end customers rather than through franchise dealerships as intermediaries is a new trend gaining traction globally. Under this business model, franchise dealers (when active) are primarily responsible for vehicle delivery and aftermarket services.
Although some OEMs operate with direct sales in the new car market in Europe and North America, they do not apply the same strategy for the used car market. As a result, OEMs' used car retail market remains very small compared to dealerships' sales channels.
This study focuses on North America and Europe, highlighting the used car retail strategies employed by OEM-owned dealerships in these regions. In addition, this report encompasses the main industry trends, key competitors, factors driving and restraining growth, market sizing, opportunities for OEMs, the political climate, and regional regulations. The base year for analysis is 2023, and the study period is from 2021 to 2023.
