Key global trends identified in the report:
Electrification penetration: E-motorcycle market share exceeds 15% globally, with China, India, and Southeast Asia leading the transition. By 2030, this figure is expected to reach 35%. The European Union's revised Clean Vehicles Directive has driven a 47% year-over-year increase in electric motorcycle registrations across the EU27 bloc in Q1 2026.
Asia-Pacific dominance: The region contributes over 60% of global motorcycle sales, with China, India, and Indonesia as the top three markets. Demand in Southeast Asia is growing at 12% annually, fueled by urbanization and rising disposable income.
Premiumization shift: Mid-to-large displacement models (250cc+) now account for 28% of global sales, up from 19% in 2020. Europe and North America lead this trend, with adventure touring and custom cruisers seeing the strongest growth.
Smart technology integration: 85% of new premium models now feature TFT displays, Bluetooth connectivity, and smartphone integration, while safety systems like ABS+TCS have become mandatory in 42 countries for 125cc+ motorcycles.
The report emphasizes that manufacturers must balance traditional combustion engine development with electric innovation to remain competitive in the rapidly evolving global market.
