Rockville, Md. The global motorcycle market is set to grow from over US$ 100 Bn in 2017 to nearly US$ 150 Bn by 2022, a 4.5% CAGR that Fact.MR links to rising living standards across developing Asia and the fuel economy motorcycles offer over cars. As incomes climb in China, India and Indonesia, two wheels remain an attractive alternative to mass transit or a bicycle.
Light motorcycles carry the market, below-250cc bikes dominate by capacity, and low-priced models draw the most buyers. Asia Pacific excluding Japan leads by a wide margin, while electric motorcycles are the fastest-growing product line.
Light motorcycles remain the largest product segment, followed by scooters, while mopeds stay subdued. The sharper growth belongs to electric motorcycles, which post the highest CAGR as eco-friendly options gain appeal. By capacity, below-250cc bikes stay preferred and head toward nearly US$ 100 Bn by 2022, with the 200cc to 500cc class second. On price, low-priced models are the most attractive, ahead of mid-priced, while high-priced bikes grow slowest.
Asia Pacific excluding Japan dominates as buyers cross income thresholds that turn motorcycles into a practical purchase. Japan ranks second, North America grows fastest among developed markets, especially in medium and heavy bikes, while Europe and the Middle East and Africa expand slowly.
The market's direction reflects two shifts. Growing prosperity in emerging economies keeps volume rising at the affordable end, while cleaner technology is starting to reshape the product mix. As manufacturers chase urban mobility demand, electric models move from novelty toward a genuine growth engine.
The field spans mass-market and premium manufacturers.
For manufacturers, volume favours affordable, small-capacity bikes, while electrification marks the longer-term opportunity. Investors get a large market with steady emerging-market demand. Procurement and distribution teams can plan around low-priced, below-250cc models carrying volume and Asia Pacific leading through 2022.
