- Citizens refraining from using public transport in Philippines
The pandemic year brought a drastic change in the preferences of people in terms of public transport. Although, the quality of public transport was already deteriorating forcing multiple people to opt for their personal cars, Covid-19 made owning a personal car unavoidable.Due to the social distancing protocols, people don’t prefer travelling from public transport anymore. Majority of the people using public transport before the pandemic were the ones who could not afford a car (or brand new at the least). However, it became inevitable after the pandemic struck the country and demand for used cars increased drastically once the nationwide lockdown was lifted in the third quarter of the year. The increase in sales was drastic enough to compensate for the sales lost during the ECQ months and in 2020 there was only a slight decline in the used car market as compared to
2019.
Other Challenges in Philippines Used Car Market Outlook To 2026
- Mixed Effect of Covid-19 on the Used Vehicle Market in the Philippines
- INCREASED DEMAND
The demand for used cars increased drastically in the months of June and July as soon as the ECQ (Enhanced Community Quarantine) was suspended
and the strict lockdown measures were eased - INCREASED INVENTORY OF REPOSSESSED CARS
Approximately 2 million Filipinos lost their jobs due to the pandemic. Several others had to face pay cuts and temporary layoffs. Thus, the source of
income for several individuals was adversely affected and a lot of them became bankrupt. - FINANCE CRUNCH
Banks in the Philippines rejected multiple loan applications due to the risk factor brought in by the pandemic. The increasing delinquency rates was
also an important factor. Sour debt at two banks BDO Unibank and Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co., jumped 120% in 2020. - ADVERSE IMPACT ON SMALL USED CAR DEALERS
The pandemic rendered a lot of small used car dealers out of business. Since the used car business requires an ample amount of cash at spare for
shelling out (for procuring pre-owned cars), some small (and unorganized) dealers were unable to withstand the losses incurred during the ECQ
- Increased used car awareness among the masses in Philippines
The awareness and marketing in used car market of Philippines has played an important role in changing customer’s mentality from buying a new car to a used car. The social media such as Facebook, which is generally used to build friends and contacts, share photos, events, communication and many more and used by almost every teenager, adult and even senior citizens, has now emerged as a viable platform to deal in used cars and make people aware about the certified used cars, merits of buying a pre-owned unit and others. The recent development in increase usage of social media websites have really helped the unorganized/ C2C market of used cars in Philippines as it is free medium to market an individual unit among friends and family.
