Rising Internet Penetration: Internet users in Malaysia stands at 29.55 million as of January 2022 while Internet penetration in Malaysia stood at ~89.6%. The used car dealers have been able to increase their footfall due to the rising Internet and Smartphone penetration in the country. Digital platforms provide many value-added services such as - instant finance, warranty extension, insurance, etc. which are attracting more customers to buy used cars.

Health Concerns from Using Public Transportation: Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, people have become more conscious about health & hygiene due to which public transport and ride sharing are no longer considered to be a safe option as more & more people are concerned about health and risk for severe illness from the virus, and as a result, used car is a way of following social distance to fight the Covid-19 Pandemic. In addition to the same, with the decrease in purchasing power, new vehicles are not considered to be economical option which makes used car a perfect choice for customers with limited budget.

Evolution of complete transaction Marketplaces: A completely digital experience by Transactional marketplaces helps the customer to book test drive & buy used cars online. Ancillary services such as insurance, warranty, financing options & documentation support are also provided by these platforms.


Covid-19 Impact on the Used 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.
