Over the past five years, used vehicle sales have ballooned in the face of an undersupply of new vehicles and a restrictive economic environment. A pandemic recovery that coincided with a semiconductor shortage in 2021 prompted most of the Used Car Dealers industry's growth during the period. Inflated disposable income and greater access to credit encouraged vehicle purchases and consumers turned to used cars when they found new car lots empty. Over the past five years, revenue for used car dealers surged at a CAGR of 5.1%, reaching an estimated $181.2 billion in 2023. Inflationary pressure will reverse some of the growth in 2023, precipitating an estimated 4.4% decline.New wheels: Rising per capita disposable income will likely support revenue and profit growth
