In 2023, the estimated value of the used car market in Japan contracted to approximately 3.91 trillion Japanese yen, up from 3.56 trillion Japanese yen in the previous year. The survey found that the percentage of lower-prized purchases decreased while high-prized buys increased, driving up the average used car price.
Estimated value of the used automobile market in Japan from 2015 to 2023
(in trillion Japanese yen)
*The market value was estimated by multiplying each year's available national population census of people aged 18 to 69 years, the percentage of survey respondents who purchased at least one used car within the past year, and the average price of surveyed used car purchases. Consequently, the estimated market value does not include those used cars bought after the first one.
100 Japanese yen equal 0.71 U.S. dollars or 0.64 euros as of January 2024. Figures have been rounded.
Values before 2017 are from previous reports.
