As the world's largest automobile market, China is rapidly transforming its used car industry from domestic circulation to global export expansion.
In 2024, China exported 436,000 used cars, a year-on-year increase of 46.5%, with export value reaching $9.21 billion. The volume is expected to exceed 500,000 units in 2025 and reach 600,000 units by 2026, covering over 160 countries and regions worldwide.
As export volume grows, the used car price list in China has become the key link connecting domestic supply, international markets, and export service providers. Companies like Beniao Car Shop (https://www.beniao-carsale.com) are emerging as industry leaders through standardized pricing and full-process export services.
