Used Trucks Market Size
The global used trucks market size was estimated at USD 49.95 billion in 2025. The market is expected to grow from USD 53.6 billion in 2026 to USD 109.2 billion in 2035, at a CAGR of 8.2%, according to latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc.
Once considered as residual trucks, used trucks have become part of fleet right-sizing, cost-efficiency, and speedy capacity delivery in logistics, construction, municipal, mining, agriculture, and utility. The escalating vehicle prices, lengthy delivery timelines of OEMs and capital preservation measures are forcing fleet operators to the secondary market in a bid to maintain operational continuity and maintaining profit margin.
Light, medium, and heavy-duty used trucks are being used more in urban and regional freight distribution, last- and mid-mile logistics, construction support, infrastructure development, municipal service and cross-border trade corridors. Fleet purchasers are increasingly focusing on vehicles that have proven service records, that meet their emission standards and that can be retrofitted with digital features, and this is evidence of a shift in the lifecycle-based approach to asset use, not first-ownership economics.
8.2 % market share
Used trucks are also experiencing a significant value addition with the incorporation of telematics, fleet analytics, ADAS retrofits and powertrain monitoring systems. Fleet operators are using data resources to do predictive maintenance, real time utilization monitoring, fuel efficiency optimization, driver performance rating, and redeploying assets, which increases the life of vehicles and reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO). This operational device is turning used trucks into digitally empowered productivity resources and has become especially appealing to small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) that need to achieve fleet efficiencies at the enterprise tier without initiating significant capital investments.
The used truck ecosystem is also being impacted by the adoption of alternative fuel. Due to the transition of the fleet owners to electric, hybrid, LNG, and hydrogen trucks, the resale market is flooded with more and more diesel and CNG used trucks. At the same time, first-generation electric and hybrid trucks are also starting to enter the secondary market, especially in municipal and urban delivery trucks, and this is forming an emerging, yet expanding used zero-emission truck market.
The used truck value chain is being redefined quickly with flexible ownership and service-based model. Truck-as-a-Service (TaaS), subscription leasing, short-term rentals, fleet pooling and pay-per-use models are on the rise, with a particular focus on construction, seasonal logistics, infrastructure projects, and municipal work. These models have the benefit of minimizing initial capital needs, and transferring risk of maintenance to services providers, and can scale fleets quickly, which can make used trucks very successful in unpredictable demand conditions.
The used truck market has strengthened its structural significance, as part of the post-pandemic recovery. The e-commerce boom, the decentralized warehousing, regional distribution centers and the infrastructure stimulus programs have heightened the demand of vehicles that can be deployed instantly. Trucks that are faster and less capital intensive of the form of used trucks have become the crucial solution to the problem of capacity shortage in the developed and developing markets.
In China, China is the largest volume market in the region, which is facilitated by huge investment in infrastructure, the high demand of domestic freight, vertically integrated production systems, and well-developed second-tier trading networks. The constant presence of used trucks in the local and export markets is sustained by government-driven infrastructure projects, logistics expansion in the urban areas, and modernization of fleet.
The high-value markets are still in North America and Europe, with technologically advanced fleets, high compliance with the regulations, and well-developed certified used programs supported by OEMs. In these markets, fleet purchasers are more focused on safety systems, emission compliance, connectivity and TCO optimization which are pushing up the premium prices of used trucks in good conditions.
The Asia-Pacific region has the most promising long-term growth opportunities based on the accelerated urbanization, increased logistic infrastructure, urban infrastructures and the increased use of medium and heavy-duty trucks in urban logistics and regional trucking. India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan and South Korea have become the major users of modern and fuel efficient and low emission used trucks to facilitate the growth of e-commerce, expansion of government fleets as well as industry.
Used Trucks Market Trends
The used trucks industry is rapidly shifting toward digital platforms, including online auctions, e-commerce marketplaces, and peer-to-peer sales channels. These platforms offer high-resolution vehicle images, detailed service histories, diagnostic reports, and telematics-based performance data, significantly improving transparency and buyer confidence. Digital tools enable remote inspection, price comparison, and cross-border transactions, expanding market reach beyond traditional dealer networks. The adoption of AI-driven valuation models and data-enabled remarketing is further accelerating digital transformation, positioning online channels as a core growth driver in the used trucks ecosystem.
Rising online shopping and last-mile delivery needs are boosting demand for used light and medium-duty trucks. These vehicles suit urban routes, parcel delivery, and small business logistics due to their maneuverability and lower operating costs. Fleets and independent operators prefer affordable used options to expand quickly without high new-vehicle expenses. This trend reflects the ongoing expansion of e-commerce and the growing need for efficient, city-friendly transportation solutions.
Early electric and hybrid trucks from initial fleet deployments are now appearing in the used market. As companies upgrade to newer models, these greener vehicles become available to cost-conscious buyers. Improved charging networks and environmental pressures encourage adoption. Though still a small portion of total inventory, their presence signals a gradual shift toward sustainable options, offering lower fuel and maintenance costs for operators open to alternative powertrains.
For example, in June 2024, Ryder System expanded its fleet operations by ordering additional BrightDrop Zevo electric vans, targeting e-commerce and retail clients who require sustainable, maneuverable light-duty vehicles for efficient last-mile and urban parcel delivery services.
Buyers increasingly seek reassurance through certified pre-owned programs that include thorough inspections, warranties, and documented service histories. Telematics systems provide real-time data on vehicle health, usage, and maintenance needs. Trucks with verified records and digital tracking build greater trust, reduce unexpected repairs, and appeal to operators prioritizing reliability and long-term cost control. This emphasis on quality and transparency is reshaping buyer preferences in the used market.
