India Two Wheeler Market

Market Overview:

The India two-wheeler market size reached a volume of 18 Million Units in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach a volume of 48.1 Million Units by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 17.80% during 2023-2028. The rising trend of personal vehicle ownership, the escalating consumer concerns regarding high vehicular pollution levels, and the expanding travel and tourism sector represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Two-wheelers refer to vehicles that are commonly utilized for traveling small distances while also assisting in easy maneuvering through congested roads. These primarily consist of motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters that are either manual or powered by fuel/electric motors. Two-wheelers are bifurcated based on long-distance travel, cruising, racing, off-road riding, etc. Two-wheelers have numerous advantages, such as a more compact design, lower costs, and higher fuel economy. They also have several operational benefits and reduced maintenance costs, making them a more cost-effective means of transportation than three- or four-wheeler vehicles. Furthermore, two-wheelers lessen dependency on public transport and shorten travel time.

The emerging trend of vehicle ownership, particularly among the middle-class population, coupled with the expanding working women population, is primarily driving the India two-wheeler market. In addition to this, the escalating demand for compact mobility solutions owing to several challenges, such as lack of parking spaces and road traffic congestion, is further propelling the market growth. Moreover, the growing popularity of two-wheelers based on their numerous benefits, including convenient travel especially over short distances, easy bank financing solutions, better affordability, etc., is also creating a positive outlook for the market. Besides this, the expanding travel and tourism sector along with the rising trend of bikers traveling solo or in a group to different destinations across the country is further bolstering the requirement for two-wheelers. Furthermore, the inflating prices of petrol and diesel are also catalyzing the need for fuel-efficient modes of transportation, thereby acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the introduction of favorable initiatives by the Indian government that provides low-income consumers subsidies or monetary incentives to purchase two-wheelers is further propelling the market growth. Apart from this, the escalating consumer concerns regarding high vehicular pollution levels are augmenting the demand for electric two-wheeler vehicles that emit low carbon emissions. This is also catalyzing the launch of hybrid bikes and scooters in the country. Moreover, the emergence of numerous technological advancements, including anti-braking systems, ride-by-wire, traction control/wheelie control, etc., is expected to drive the India two-wheeler market during the forecast period.
