The second-hand market in 2021 it substantially withstood the impact of the pandemic, with an increase of 13.2% compared to 2020 and a very limited decrease in relation to 2019 (-2.3%). However, in January, there was a step backwards.
According to ACI reports, last month “the transfer of ownership of cars net of mini-revolutions closed the January budget with a drop of 5.8% compared to the same month of 2021, which worsens to 10.5% in terms of the daily average, taking into account that the month of January 2022 had one more working day. For every 100 new cars, 207 used cars were sold in Januaryfor the seventh consecutive month more than double those enrolled in the PRA for the first time“.
It should be noted, in this trend, the peculiar position of the diesel. Among new cars, this type of engine struggles and loses market share not only in Italy, but throughout Europe. In the second-hand sector, however, diesel is still irresistible. In fact, petrol and diesel fuel systems command, with shares of 36.9% and 48.9% respectively in January 2022, in any case down compared to the same month of 2021. In the whole of last year, diesel cars have clearly excelled in the minivoltures (56.3% the annual share), despite a tiny decrease in the incidence on the total compared to December 2020 (56.7%). With current distributor prices and new car costs, diesel is stronger than any environmental goal.
“There is no longer a car for everyone. The prices of the post-pandemic have increased significantly (compared to 10 years ago, on average by about 6 thousand euros) and the reasons given are different, there are those who charge the growth to the cost of materials, energy, the lack of semiconductors or More concretely, the cause lies in the ongoing restructuring of the entire automotive sector. The electric transition led to a collapse of the European market which, in 2021, lost around 26% of registrations and led to a growth in the second-hand market. The changes of ownership, again last year, doubled the first registrations, for every 100 new vehicles 200 used were sold, although they too recorded a price increase“, Analyzes the Corriere della Sera.
