HOW INDIA'S REFURBISHED TWO-WHEELER MARKET IS SHIFTING GEARS IN 2025

Startups - June 2025

Ever thought of buying a second-hand two-wheeler? India is seeing a surprising rise in the popularity of pre-owned and refurbished two-wheeler vehicles.

- BY NARAIN KARTHIKEYAN, FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR, DRIVEX

HOW INDIA'S REFURBISHED TWO-WHEELER MARKET IS SHIFTING GEARS IN 2025

While new vehicle sales are chugging along, the pre-owned market is booming! Analysts predict this segment to reach a colossal 55.8 million units by 2027, surpassing the market for brand new bikes! This unexpected gear change for Indian consumers can be attributed to a confluence of factors, each as compelling as the last.

For many buyers, the cost of a brand-new two-wheeler can be a significant barrier. A certified refurbished bike, however, comes at a significantly lower price than a new one, making it a smart and affordable alternative without compromising on quality. But affordability is no longer the only factor driving this shift.
