- EMEA

Used car market in the Americas
“The Americas occupied a majority 48% of the global used car market in 2016, and is expected to continue its dominance through the forecast period, driven by decreasing ownership cycles,” says Praveen Kumar, a lead analyst at Technavio for automotive services research.
The increasing demand for cars used for less than three years has led to an increase in the price of such vehicles, adding revenue to the market. The rapid growth of the e-commerce industry and growing employment opportunities are other factors boosting the used car market in the Americas.
