Used equipment is priced much lower than new ones, usually 30%-70% of the cost of new machines. It directly cuts down initial capital input and eases financial pressure for startup or capacity expansion, allowing the remaining funds to be invested in raw materials, marketing and operation to improve capital efficiency. New equipment depreciates as soon as it is put into use (the annual depreciation rate is usually 20%-30% in the first year), while used equipment has completed core depreciation, with a slower depreciation rate in subsequent use and stronger asset value preservation.
