The global used truck market continues to expand steadily, supported by growing demand across logistics, construction, agriculture, and e-commerce sectors. The market was valued at USD 58.16 billion in 2025 and is projected to increase to USD 61.42 billion in 2026. By 2034, the market is expected to reach USD 92.52 billion, registering a CAGR of 5.25% during the forecast period (2026-2034).
In 2025, North America dominated the global market with a 36.81% share, driven by strong resale networks and high transportation demand.
Market Overview
Used trucks are pre-owned commercial vehicles sold through dealers, auctions, or peer-to-peer platforms. They provide an affordable alternative to new trucks, making them particularly attractive to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Growth in fleet renewal cycles, rapid expansion of e-commerce, and the need for operational efficiency are key contributors to market expansion.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic initially disrupted supply chains and reduced transactions, the market rebounded strongly due to rising logistics demand and the need for cost-effective transportation solutions.
Market Trends
Rising Adoption of Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Programs
One of the most significant trends shaping the market is the growing adoption of Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) programs by manufacturers and dealers. Companies such as Volvo Trucks and Penske are offering rigorously inspected and refurbished vehicles backed by warranties. These programs enhance buyer confidence and improve resale value.
In addition, technological integration such as telematics and advanced diagnostics is increasing the reliability of used trucks. OEMs are also promoting electric trucks within used inventories to align with sustainability goals, reflecting a gradual shift toward environmentally friendly transportation.
Market Drivers
Increasing Prevalence of SMBs
The rising number of small and medium-sized businesses globally is a major driver. SMBs operate within limited budgets and prefer used trucks due to lower upfront costs. The expansion of e-commerce and last-mile delivery services further strengthens demand for affordable transportation options.
Light-duty and medium-duty trucks are particularly popular for urban logistics operations. Certified inspection programs by manufacturers further enhance trust and reliability, encouraging SMBs to invest in used vehicles.
Market Restraints
High Cost of New Electric and Alternative-Fuel Trucks
The increasing cost of new trucks, especially electric and alternative-fuel models, indirectly impacts the market. Battery-electric trucks can cost significantly more than diesel models, making them less accessible for many businesses. Although cost reductions are expected in the coming years, the high upfront price continues to influence purchasing decisions.
This pricing disparity sustains strong demand for used internal combustion engine (ICE) trucks, which remain more affordable and widely available.
