Market Growth Factors
The Philippine government's increased support for the automotive industry significantly drives the used car market growth. The Department of Trade and Industry's Automotive Industry for Competitiveness Enhancement (RACE) program, backed by an initial allocation of PHP250 Million in the 2025 General Appropriations Act, incentivizes automotive firms to develop manufacturing locally. These policies ease vehicle importation and promote domestic production, boosting the steady supply of new and used cars. Additionally, government programs encouraging trade-ins facilitate easier vehicle upgrades and make used cars more accessible, maintaining market competitiveness and active circulation of used vehicles.
The rapid expansion of online platforms is a crucial growth driver for the Philippines used car market. Consumers increasingly prefer internet-based buying and selling for convenience and a broader selection. E-commerce platforms simplify browsing, price comparison, and transactions from home. These marketplaces introduce benefits like car condition reports, financing options, and delivery services, facilitating smoother purchases. The growing e-commerce market, expected to rise in gross merchandise value from USD 14.2 Billion in 2023 to USD 24.8 Billion by 2028, amplifies the exposure sellers receive nationwide, intensifying demand and boosting overall market growth.
