Women are increasingly taking the driver's seat in India's automotive market, according to recent data released by Spinny, the country's leading full-stack used car platform.
The company reports that women comprised 26% of its customer base in 2024, up from 16% in 2023. Even more striking, by March 2025, that figure has nearly doubled to 46%, marking a significant shift in the used car market traditionally dominated by male buyers.
"We believe it's a woman's world, and we are celebrating this with a special discount for women buyers," said Niraj Singh, CEO and Founder of Spinny. "Over the years, women have made up an average of over 32% of our car buyers, and we remain committed to increasing this number."
Purchasing Patterns Reveal Preferences
The report highlights that 60% of women buyers prefer automatic hatchbacks, citing ease of use as a primary factor. Another 18% opt for compact SUVs. Popular models among female buyers include the Renault Kwid, Hyundai Grand i10, and Maruti Suzuki Swift.
Geographically, Delhi-NCR leads with 48% of women buyers, followed closely by Mumbai at 46%, Bengaluru at 41%, and Pune at 39%. Non-metro cities are also showing strong growth, with Lucknow and Jaipur reporting a 20% increase in women buyers.
The typical female car buyer is between 30 and 40 years old, representing a generation of young professionals investing in personal mobility.
Women's Day Celebration Offers
To commemorate Women's Day, Spinny is offering special benefits from March 7 to March 9. Women buyers can receive discounts up to ₹1,00,000, while one lucky woman seller will win ₹5,000 each day of the promotion.
These initiatives aim to not only celebrate women car owners but also empower them to make independent automotive choices, reflecting a broader societal shift toward financial independence and breaking traditional norms.
