UAE Used Cars Market Analysis & Forecast, 2019-2028
$2,380.00 – $4,800.00
The rising expatriate population is growing the market for used cars in UAE, dominated by SUVs and the Luxury segment
The UAE used cars market is projected to increase at a CAGR of 10.5% over the forecast period 2022 to 2028 and is set to reach a market value of US$ 32 billion (AED 118 billion) by the end of 2028. This impressive CAGR is a result of the increasing average age of vehicles, the growing penetration of digital platforms, and the rising demand from shared mobility companies, which are the primary market growth drivers.
Moreover, the majority of ex-pats in UAE are there on a temporary basis until their employment contract expires. Due to this, ex-pats prefer purchasing a pre-owned vehicle rather than spending a large sum of money on a brand-new vehicle, resulting in an increase in the demand for used cars over the years.
Key Parameters and Takeaways: UAE Used Cars Market
- If a person needs to sell a vehicle in the UAE, the vehicle would be subjected to a Secure Diagnostic Access (SDA) test, which would entail a thorough inspection by the dealer before it could be sold.
- The emergence of a large number of companies offering financing options in the form of loans and easy EMIs to increase customer affordability is anticipated to boost the growth of the UAE used car market over the forecast period. However, the availability of limited or no warranty coverage options may impede the growth of the UAE used car market over the forecast period.

Petrol holds the largest segment in fuel type in UAE due to them being the largest oil producer
As one of the world’s major oil producers, the UAE has an extensive network of petrol stations throughout the country. In UAE, Special 95 and Super 98 are the most common types of petrol. Special 95 has a high-octane content and provides excellent performance for all petrol-powered automobiles with medium compression engines, whereas Super 98 also has a high-octane content and is suitable for high-performance automobiles with powerful engines.
Although there has been an increase in demand for roomy, high-end automobiles, budget-conscious buyers are also interested in affordable, easy-to-maintain sedans like the Toyota Camry, which is renowned for its resale value and fuel economy. The adoption of an online sales platform by market participants has simplified and accelerated the process. It streamlines the documentation, eligibility, and payment processes with a few clicks.
The UAE used car market is anticipated to expand at an exponential rate over the forecast period, on account of the adoption of online platforms and the increasing investments made by market participants to remain competitive.
The increase of tourism in Dubai is gaining traction for the used cars market in UAE
Dubai accounted for the highest sales of used cars in the UAE used car market in 2020 by volume and the same is expected in the forecast years as well in terms of volume. This is because the region is a hub for tourism in the country and used cars in UAE are highly purchased by car rental companies for travel and tourism purposes.
In Sharjah, the rising demand for high-value cars or supercars is the key reason for the higher rise in revenue as compared to volume. A number of operational and marketing changes are expected to happen in the market as the companies are becoming more customers centric. In other emirates, demand is expected to remain constant.
