China is exporting more used cars than ever, boosted by nationwide trade-in incentives that continue to stimulate new-vehicle sales. According to data from the China Automobile Dealers Association, China exported 270,000 used vehicles last year, and the volume is expected to reach 400,000 units by the end of this year。
China began exporting secondhand cars in May 2019, with Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin among the first pilot cities. Since then, export volumes have risen steadily, turning the used-car segment into one of the fastest-growing areas in the automotive industry。
Today, China exports used vehicles to over 160 countries and regions, and Chinese secondhand car brands are increasingly gaining international visibility. Industry experts note that as exports scale up, demand for professional, compliant, and fully licensed exporters is also rising。
Companies such as Sieton Auto, with more than 40 years of export experience and complete government-approved licenses, are playing a growing role in supporting global buyers. From model sourcing and inspection to logistics and customs clearance, these companies provide one-stop export solutions, helping overseas partners access reliable
Chinese used-vehicle supply。

According to the OECD, China’s annual used-car exports could exceed 8 million units within the next decade—creating an even larger market for professional exporters and international buyers alike。
