简介目录

2024 年，日本二手车市场规模价值为 666.7 亿美元。展望未来， IMARC Group估计到 2033 年市场规模将达到 1,231.6 亿美元，2025 年至 2033 年的复合年增长率为 6.38%。市场主要受到严格的品质检查、导致低成本选择的经济压力、不断发展的电子商务平台、环保型汽车、良好的道路基础设施、汽车维修文化、国外市场日益增长的需求以及为更准确的车辆评估而进行的先进技术整合的推动。

由于高品质的製造标准，日本二手车市场份额正在大幅扩大。此外，日本严格的车辆政策和车辆检查也维持了二手车的标准。这些标准确保二手车保持其可靠性和性能，从而吸引寻求具有成本效益选择的国内外买家。元气汽车2024年11月11日的一篇文章，讨论了日本的强制汽车检查制度「震撼」。文章介绍了检查的目的，以确保车辆的安全和环保，根据车辆的类型和年龄进行检查的间隔以及所涉及的费用。在日本，遵守「Shaken」规定对于确保道路安全并避免法律后果至关重要。由于消费者重视品质和长期可用性，此检查系统增强了消费者对二手车市场的信心并支持市场扩张。

消费者越来越倾向于缩短汽车拥有期限，这通常受到租赁协议或财务因素的影响，进一步推动了日本二手车市场的成长。此外，日益增长的经济担忧使得消费者选择购买二手车等低成本的选择。除此之外，日本维护良好的道路和对清洁的文化重视也有助于二手车保持良好的状况。 2024 年 11 月 24 日《标准报》发表的一篇文章深入探讨了日本二手车状况优良的因素。文章强调了日本高效的公共交通系统，从而降低了私家车的使用率，并最终降低了私家车的行驶里程。

日本二手车市场趋势：

转向混合动力汽车

电动和混合动力汽车的日益普及是由于环保意识的增强和政府法规的加强。除此之外，二手车领域混合动力车的日益普及使其成为消费者在永续性方面的更好选择。根据Yuki Goshima等人于2024年11月15日发表的研究论文，收集了2011年至2015年在丰田市收集的资料，分析了68名驾驶员300万分钟的混合动力汽车和电动车的二氧化碳排放量。研究发现，受区域发电方式的影响，混合动力车在特定温度范围内排放的二氧化碳比电动车少。此外，氢燃料电池技术的应用范围正在扩大市场上环保汽车的范围，因为它符合全球减少碳排放的趋势。

增加数位平台和线上销售

日本二手车市场越来越多地采用数位化平台进行销售和购买，这正在改变消费者的偏好。线上平台提供便利、透明且详细的车辆资讯。例如，2024年10月8日，丰田通商株式会社推出了丰田通商拍卖（TTA），这是一项旨在扩大日本二手车向新兴市场出口的资讯服务。透过将国内汽车拍卖的车辆资料与 Carpaydiem 株式会社的电子商务平台 Carused.jp 相结合，TTA 允许海外客户访问详细的车辆状况报告和图像，从而帮助他们做出明智的购买决策。此举旨在满足新兴市场对二手车日益增长的需求。此举为消费者提供了更高的透明度和品质保证。此外，虚拟旅游和送货上门服务也增强了购买过程的便利性。

车辆中人工智慧 (AI) 和机器学习 (ML) 的集成

检查

人工智慧 (AI) 和机器学习 (ML) 正在极大地改善日本二手车市场的车辆检查。基于人工智慧的系统读取车辆影像以识别划痕、凹痕和磨损等缺陷。这最大限度地减少了人为错误并加快了检查过程。例如，2024年2月21日，Ravin AI宣布其DeepDetect汽车侦测技术已获得日本专利。它将深度学习人工智慧演算法与固定或移动摄影机相结合，以提高车辆评估的精度，从而使整个汽车行业变得透明。这项技术正在改变世界，因为它正在改变二手车经销、拍卖、车队管理、汽车租赁、保险和维修服务等领域，提高营运效率和客户满意度。这些工具可以进行准确的状况评估，从而实现公平的定价和更高的透明度。这项创新使买卖双方受益，使得市场更有效率和可靠。

The Japan used car market size was valued at USD 66.67 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 123.16 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.38% from 2025-2033. The market is primarily driven by strict quality checks, economic compulsions leading to low-cost choices, growing e-commerce platforms, environment-friendly vehicles, good road infrastructure, the culture of maintenance of cars, increasing demand in foreign markets, and advanced technology integration for a more accurate vehicle assessment.

The Japan used car market share is expanding significantly due to the high-quality manufacturing standards. Additionally, strict vehicle policies in Japan and inspection of vehicles are maintaining the used cars standards. These standards ensure that used cars retain their reliability and performance, thereby attracting domestic and international buyers looking for cost-effective options. An article by Genki Car dated November 11, 2024, discussed Japan's compulsory car inspection system, "Shaken." The article describes the purpose of the inspection to ensure that the vehicle is safe and environmentally friendly, the intervals for inspections based on the type and age of the vehicle, and the costs involved. It is essential in Japan to comply with "Shaken" to ensure road safety and avoid legal consequences. This inspection system builds consumer confidence in the used cars market and supports market expansion as the consumers value quality and long-term usability.

The increasing trend among consumers to adopt shorter vehicle ownership periods is often influenced by lease agreements or financial factors that are further driving the Japan used car market growth. Furthermore, rising economic concerns are allowing consumers to opt for low-cost options, such as purchasing used cars. In addition to this, the well-maintained roads in Japan and the cultural importance attached to cleanliness contribute to the excellent condition of used cars. An article published on November 24, 2024, in The Standard, provides insights into the factors contributing to the superior condition of used cars in Japan. The article highlights Japan's efficient public transportation system, leading to lower private car usage and, consequently, lower mileage on personal vehicles.

Japan Used Car Market Trends:

Shift toward Hybrid Vehicles

The growing shift towards electric and hybrid vehicles is due to the increasing environmental consciousness and regulations by the government. In addition to this, the increasing availability of hybrid vehicles in the used car segment makes it a better choice for the consumer in terms of sustainability. According to a research paper published on November 15, 2024, by Yuki Goshima et al., data collected in Toyota City from 2011 to 2015 analyzed CO2 emissions from hybrid and electric vehicles over 3 million minutes of driving data from 68 drivers. The study found that hybrid vehicles emit less CO2 than electric vehicles in specific temperature ranges, influenced by regional electricity generation methods. Additionally, the scope of hydrogen fuel cell technology is widening the spectrum of environment-friendly vehicles in the market, as it goes in line with the global trends to reduce carbon emissions.

Increasing Digital Platforms and Online Sales

The used car market in Japan is adopting digital platforms for selling and buying increasingly, which is changing the preference of consumers. The online platforms are offering convenience, transparency and detailed information of the vehicle. For instance, On October 8, 2024, Toyota Tsusho Corporation launched the TOYOTA TSUSHO AUCTION (TTA), an information service designed to expand Japanese used car exports to emerging markets. By integrating vehicle data from domestic auto auctions with Carpaydiem Co., Ltd.'s e-commerce platform, Carused.jp, TTA allows overseas customers to access detailed vehicle condition reports and images, facilitating informed purchasing decisions. This move addresses the increasing demand for used cars in emerging markets. This move provides increased transparency and quality assurance to consumers. Additionally, virtual tours and home delivery are enhancing the ease of the buying process.

Integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in Vehicle

Inspection

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are greatly improving vehicle inspections in the used car market in Japan. AI-based systems read vehicle images to identify defects such as scratches, dents, and wear and tear. This minimizes human error and accelerates the inspection process. For example, On February 21, 2024, Ravin AI announced it had acquired a Japanese patent for its DeepDetect car inspection technology. It incorporates deep learning AI algorithms with stationary or mobile cameras to enhance the precision of vehicle assessment, thereby allowing for transparency across the entire automotive industry. This technology is already changing the world as it is changing the current sectors such as used car dealerships, auctions, fleet management, car rentals, insurance, and repair services, improving operational efficiency and satisfaction from customers. These tools make accurate condition assessments, which also enables fair pricing and a higher level of transparency. This innovation benefits both buyers and sellers, which is making the market more efficient and reliable.

Japan Used Car Industry Segmentation:

Analysis by Vehicle Type:

Hatchbacks
Sedan
Sports Utility Vehicle
Others

Hatchbacks are a prominent part of the used car market in Japan because of their compact size and practicality. They are ideal for navigating narrow city streets and are highly preferred by urban commuters and small families. They are cost-effective for budget-conscious buyers due to their affordability and fuel efficiency. The steady supply of hatchbacks from shorter ownership cycles adds to their popularity in the market.

Sedans represent the comfort, style, and reliability blend of the used car market in Japan. These cars often come from corporate fleets or owners who want to upgrade to newer models. Sedan cars attract professionals and families looking for a spacious yet sophisticated option. Durability and lower maintenance costs make them an attractive buy, thus, sedans are dominating the mid-range segment of the market.

Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) gained popularity within the Japan used car market, reflecting a change in consumer choice towards versatility and performance in SUVs. They possess abundant space and advanced safety and are attractive to adventure enthusiasts and families. With typically higher prices than hatchbacks and sedans, these vehicles offer a robust build and all-terrain capability and, therefore, are in huge demand. The entry of SUVs from shorter cycles of ownership further strengthens its presence.

Analysis by Vendor Type:

Organized
Unorganized

Organized vendors play a very important role in Japan's used car market, offering buyers transparency, reliability, and professional services. These dealerships often provide certified pre-owned vehicles with warranties and detailed inspection reports, ensuring quality and peace of mind for customers. Their well-established networks and digital platforms enable a seamless buying experience, making them a preferred choice for consumers seeking assurance and value in their purchase.

Unorganized dealers are a major part of the used car market in Japan, catering to those looking for low-cost alternatives and flexible negotiation terms. Most of these dealers are small-scale or individual sellers who can provide various vehicles at a low price compared to organized dealers. They do not have any formal certification process but still attract budget-conscious customers and those who are comfortable judging the condition of the vehicle on their own. Their presence in the market adds variety and accessibility.

Analysis by Fuel Type:

Gasoline
Diesel
Others

Gasoline-powered vehicles are most popular in the Japan used car market because they are available everywhere and are cheaper to purchase. These vehicles are preferred for their quieter engines, smoother operation, and compatibility with Japan's urban-centric driving needs. Their prevalence in smaller vehicle categories like hatchbacks and sedans makes them an attractive option for city dwellers seeking affordable and efficient transportation.

Diesel-powered vehicles hold a smaller but notable share in Japan's used car market, especially in SUVs and commercial vehicles. They are widely revered for their fuel efficiency and torque. Diesel vehicles are sought after by buyers who need long-distance driving capability and heavy-load performance. Despite the strict emissions regulations, their robust build and reliability ensure continued demand, especially in rural areas and industries requiring powerful transport solutions.

Analysis by Sales Channel:

Online
Offline

Online sales channels are increasingly shaping the used car market in Japan, providing convenience and extensive options for consumers. Digital platforms allow buyers to compare prices, view detailed vehicle information, and even access financing solutions-all from the comfort of their homes. With technological advancements and growing trust in e-commerce, online platforms have become a preferred choice, especially for younger, tech-savvy consumers.

Offline sales play a significant part in the Japan used car market as clients appreciate personal inspections as well as the dealer's expertise. Traditional dealers and auctions allow personal contact, generating trust and confidence in making a purchase. These sales often cater to older demographics or first-time buyers who demand personal attention.

Competitive Landscape:

The used car market in Japan is highly competitive, driven by strong domestic demand for reliable and cost-effective vehicles. Market participants prioritize diverse inventories of well-maintained cars, capitalizing on Japan's reputation for quality manufacturing and stringent inspection standards. Collaborations among dealers, auction platforms, and export networks streamline operations and broaden market access. For instance, in November 2024, Japan exported 47,000 used cars to Tanzania and 39,000 units to Kenya, highlighting the global demand for Japanese automobiles known for their reliability and advanced technology. Advanced auction systems and digital tools, including AI-based pricing and vehicle assessments, further enhance competition. Sustainability trends and partnerships focusing on electric and hybrid vehicles are shaping market strategies, aligning with the rising preference for eco-friendly transportation solutions. These factors underscore the competitive dynamics of the used car market in Japan.

The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the competitive landscape in the Japan used car market with detailed profiles of all major companies.

Latest News and Developments:

March 14, 2024: NHK reported that the global semiconductor shortage has constrained new car availability, leading to a significant rise in used car prices in Japan. USS Co., a leading used-car auction firm, noted that in February, the average price for second-hand vehicles exceeded 1 million yen (approximately USD 8,500), marking a 20% increase from the previous year and the highest since 2000. This rise is attributed to consumers opting for used cars to avoid lengthy waits for new models, coupled with a limited supply as current owners retain their vehicles and exports of used cars continue to grow.
May 1, 2024: ITOCHU Corporation, headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, and ITOCHU ENEX Co., Ltd. announced the establishment of WECARS Co. Ltd., in partnership with J-Will Partners Co., Ltd., through the acquisition of all businesses from BIGMOTOR Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The name "WECARS" signifies a commitment to fostering connections among all individuals associated with automobiles, aiming to enhance the future of the automotive industry for each customer. This initiative reflects the company's dedication to advancing the used car sector and contributing positively to society.
