Tech platforms to propel India car services, repair market to $25 bn

New Delhi:  Driven by online tech platforms, the car services and repairs market is expected to reach $25 billion by 2030 from $8 billion in 2020 (growing at a CAGR of 12 per cent) in the country, a new report showed on Monday.
The share of the online segment is also expected to increase from 1 per cent in CY20 to 15 per cent by CY30, as online tech platforms accelerate the focus on digitising the entire journey of car ownership right from car search, car purchase, car finance, and car insurance to sales in India.
The personal vehicle market has seen an accelerated growth trajectory post Covid in the last 12 months, according to the report by Bengaluru-based market research firm RedSeer.
The sales of passenger vehicles have recovered to 140 per cent in Q1 CY21 compared to Q1 CY20.
This increasing demand for passenger vehicles is leading to the growth of used cars.
“Currently, the used-to-new car sales ratio is 38 per cent lower than the global average which means there is a significant headroom for growth,” the report noted.
