Spinny, India's used car platform, reported a 50% increase in vehicle inspections across Telangana in 2024, with home deliveries rising by 35%. The company's data indicates that online car purchases have stabilized at 34%, reflecting sustained consumer confidence in digital transactions for pre-owned vehicles.
Women buyers have increased their participation in the market, doubling from 9% in 2022 to 17% in 2024. The platform's standardized 200-point inspection process, 5-day money-back guarantee, and one-year warranty continue to attract buyers across demographics.
The market data shows evolving preferences in car choices, with Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, and Tata maintaining their market leadership. The Renault Kwid has gained market share in 2024, while demand for automatic transmission vehicles has increased from 19% to 25% since 2022.
Hyderabad remains the primary market for Spinny, with 40% of the city's used car buyers choosing the platform. The market has expanded by 30% year-over-year, with 20% of sales originating from customers outside the city, including rural areas up to 300 kilometers away. Loan processing has improved, with 25-30% of applications receiving approval within two hours.
The company has noted emerging demand in the luxury segment, particularly for models like the Jeep Compass, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and BMW X1, marking a shift from previous years when luxury car sales were minimal. Feeder cities including Vijayawada, Warangal, and Secunderabad are contributing significantly to the market's growth.
Spinny operates 57 car hubs across 22 Indian cities, including Hyderabad. The company's position in the market was strengthened in 2023 when cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar joined as both an investor and brand ambassador.
The used car market in India has been experiencing steady growth, with industry reports suggesting it could reach 8 million units annually by 2025. This growth is attributed to factors including increased digitization, improved financing options, and changing consumer attitudes toward pre-owned vehicles. The organized sector, represented by companies like Spinny, has been gaining market share from traditional unorganized sellers, driven by standardized processes and quality assurance measures.
