COVID-19 Impact on used cars market

• COVID-19 pandemic led to a shortage of semiconductor chips, therefore the production of new passenger cars is substantially hit leading to a shortage in supply. Due to the low supply, extended delivery timelines of new cars, the new car buyers are moving towards the used cars market to fulfill their need for a vehicle temporarily. However, there is a significant shortage of used vehicles in the market leading to a massive price increase of used vehicles.
• The main reason for this situation is considered to be a series of events such as the COVID-19 pandemic that led to the shutting down of auto manufacturing units, thus the automakers canceled orders from suppliers expecting low demand in the future. However, the demand rose drastically after 1^st wave was over, which led to a crunch in the supply of semiconductors worldwide.
• Analysts predict that the price erosion led by this demand/supply gap might lead the U.S. economy towards great inflation & unstable economy.
