Motorcycles in China

http://www.reportlinker.com/p090372/Motorcycles-in-China.html

Demand in China to grow 7.6% yearly through 2014

Demand for motorcycles in China will rise 7.6 percent annually to 54.9 million units in 2014. Electric motorcycles are expected to surpass gas motorcycles to become the most important motorcycle type sold in China. These comparatively new products will account for over threefourths of all new motorcycle demand in 2014. Gas-powered internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycles will also record solid growth through 2014, helping to strengthen China's position as far and away the world's largest motorcycle market.

Electric motorcycles to register fastest growth

The market for electric motorcycles in China is expected to grow 11.0 percent per annum through 2014 to 31.6 million units. Demand for these newer products will continue to expand at a rapid pace through the forecast period, as increasing numbers of urban dwellers turn to electric motorcycles for their transportation needs. Improving vehicle durability and battery power and longevity have allowed electric motorcycles to meet an important need among urbanites seeking to upgrade from pedal bicycles but unable to afford automobiles. Aided by central government subsidies, greater sales of electric motorcycles in rural settings will also offer new opportunities. Gains for electric scooters and three-wheeled trikes will lag those for electric mopeds and bicycles due to new regulatory standards favoring lighter vehicles, mainly electric mopeds.

Rural regions best market for gas (ICE) motorcycles

Sales of traditional gas motorcycles will increase 3.9 percent annually to 23.3 million units in 2014. Advances will be driven by increasing economic activity and rising personal income levels in the country's rural and semi-rural regions, which are and will remain the most important market for these vehicles. Government rebates for purchases of ICE motorcycles by rural residents as part of the "Automobiles and Motorcycles to the Countryside" program will also stimulate new demand. However, restrictions and even outright bans on ICE motorcycles in many Chinese cities will prevent sales from expanding at a faster pace. Cruisers are the most popular model type among Chinese consumers, representing 43 percent of gas motorcycle sales in 2009. However, their dominance of the ICE market has been undermined in recent years due to the diversification of motorcycle offerings in China. Going forward, trikes and sidecars will see demand expand at the fastest rates of any ICE motorcycle model types.

Study coverage

Details on these and other key findings are contained the new industry study, Motorcycles in China. It presents historical demand data (1999, 2004, 2009) as well as forecasts for 2014 and 2019 by type, market and region of China. The study also considers key market environment factors, discusses competitive strategies, evaluates company market share data and profiles 40 competitors in the Chinese industry.
