Global Market for Motorcycles, Scooters and Mopeds is Projected to Reach 80.8 Million Units by 2020
Growing Personal Mobility Needs Drives Demand for Motorcycles,
Scooters and Mopeds, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces
the release of a comprehensive global report on Motorcycles, Scooters and Mopeds
markets. Global market for Motorcycles, Scooters and
Mopeds is projected to reach 80.8 million units by 2020, driven by the rising
demand for convenient and affordable personal mobility solutions in urban and
rural areas.
The last two
decades have transformed the global motorcycles, scooters and mopeds market
with demand outstripping expectations. Favorable demographic trends, including
growing population, increasing number of women and youngsters seeking
affordable and convenient means of transportation, and growing number of “born-again”
middle” aged bikers seeking to reignite the thrill of bike riding, are providing
much required traction to the market. Migration of rural population to urban
areas, growth in geographic expanse of urban centers and subsequent rise in mobility
needs, have also played important roles in fuelling growth of powered
two-wheelers. Lack of strong public transportation systems and need for cheaper
and convenient transportation mode for regular urban transport, particularly in
developing markets, are boosting market prospects for motorcycles, scooters and
mopeds. With recent financial hardships creating a new league of cost wary consumers
keen on exercising focus on cost savings and benefits, powered two-wheelers are
growing in popularity for their inexpensive, convenient and environment
friendly benefits offered. Improvement
in availability of credit is additionally lending traction to growth.
Growing
replacement needs are also expected to generate substantial demand for motor
cycles, scooters and mopeds in the coming years. In addition to aging, and natural
wear and tear, another factor catalyzing replacements include consumer penchant
for new generation fuel efficient two-wheeler models with advanced features,
attractive designs, colors and styles. Regulatory requirements pertaining to
fuel efficiency and emission norms also encourage consumers to replace their
existing vehicle models with new fuel efficient and environmental friendly
models. Given the fact that large fleets of vehicles on road in countries such
as India, China, Indonesia and Brazil are old, replacement demand for powered
two wheelers is poised to grow stronger in the coming years.
As stated by
the new market research report on Motorcycles, Scooters and Mopeds, Asia-Pacific represents the largest market
worldwide. Huge population, burgeoning economies, growing employment
opportunities, mass exodus of rural inhabitants to urban cities, particularly
in China and India, are key factors fuelling growth in the region. Inadequate
road infrastructure, traffic congestions, and lack of adequate public
transportation additionally contribute to the region’s dominance. Europe
represents one of the fastest growing markets worldwide with a CAGR of 4.8%
over the analysis period.
Major players
in the market include Bajaj Auto Limited, BMW Group, China Jialing Industrial
Co. Ltd., Ducati Motor Holding SpA, Harley-Davidson Inc., Hero MotoCorp
