Study #2658 September 2010 $5300 259 Pages Motorcycles in China Industry Study with Forecasts for 2014 & 2019 Demand for motorcycles in China will be fueled by electric motorcycles, which will surpass gas-powered types in unit sales in 2014 and account for 75% of aggregate market growth. 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. Gas 51% Motorcycle Demand in China (38 million units, 2009) Electric 49% Gains for electric scooters and threewheeled 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 photo: YongKang Moiika Grouip Co., Ltd. Demand in China to grow 7.6% yearly through 2014 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. Copyright 2010 The Freedonia Group, Inc.

They are an attractive option for first-time motorcycle buyers because of their continuously variable transmission (CVT). Their step-through design also makes them more appealing to female riders. Scooters in China were traditionally produced by manufacturers in Zhejiang and Guangdong, two of the three major motorcycle producing regions in China. However, Chongqing -- the third major region -- is now looking to increase its scooter output. To this end, the Chongqing CHART VII-1 government has introduced preferential policies, such as tax rebates, to support local scooter producers.
