The expansion of the construction industry is projected to fuel the growth of the second-hand truck market. The construction sector, which deals with the building, repairing, remodeling, and upkeep of infrastructure, frequently employs used trucks to transport various materials on site. For example, Invest India, India's National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency, forecasted in August 2022 that the construction industry in India could generate $1.4 trillion by 2025. MGI (2011) predicts that urban areas will contribute to 70% of India's GDP by 2030. The construction market in India is comprised of 250 interconnected subsectors. With an expected population increase of 600 million in urban regions by 2030, there will be a heightened demand for 25 million middle-class and affordable housing units. Hence, the acceleration of the construction industry acts as a propellant for the used truck market.
