[Figure] Which is stronger in two rounds？ Ranking of motorcycle sales in 2021

[car home Motorcycle] Since the epidemic began, the sales volume of motorcycle market has definitely risen in a straight line, and a brand-new outdoor sport has risen rapidly in China! Of course, the sales volume of motorcycles in the global market is also on the rise. Now let’s take a look at the top ten global motorcycle brands in 2021 by foreign media.

Compared with cars, motorcycles still have certain differences in essence, and the division of two rounds is also extreme. On the one hand, they are recreational tools, and on the other hand, they are just needed for transportation. In many provinces in China and many countries in Southeast Asia, the importance of motorcycles in the family is much higher than that of automobiles. That is to say, the main sales volume in the global motorcycle market is still mainly based on the demand for tool attributes, and the production and sales volume for real entertainment purposes is far less than that of practical ones.

With the above analysis, let’s take a look at the top ten sales rankings of global motorcycle brands in 2021, and it will be clear at a glance why these brands are popular, including electric vehicle manufacturers. Some friends may guess that it is the first-and second-tier motorcycle manufacturers in the market, but it is not the case. Often, the bigger the brand motorcycle, the more unable it is to achieve higher production and sales.

First place, Honda, sales volume: 13.8 million units;

Second place, Yadea, sales volume: 5.8 million vehicles;

Third place, Hero, sales: 4.5 million vehicles;

Fourth place, Yamaha, sales volume: 3.5 million units;

Fifth place, Bajaj, sales volume: 2.3 million vehicles;

Sixth place, TVS Motor, sales volume: 2.25 million units;

Seventh place, Haojue, sales volume, 1.2 million vehicles;

Eighth place, Suzuki, sales volume, 1.2 million vehicles;

Ninth place, Italika, sales volume, 900,000 vehicles;

Tenth place, Mavericks, sales volume, 900,000 vehicles.

Simply analyze a few words, Honda is still the world’s motorcycle brand leader. Compared with other brands in the ranking, most of Honda’s sales should be contributed by small-displacement vehicles such as scooters and underbone. Yadea’s electric motorcycle, which ranks second, is dominated by the domestic market and exported to many countries, becoming the first electric motorcycle in this ranking; Hero, the third largest motorcycle manufacturer in India, once had a joint venture with Honda, and now India mainly produces small-displacement straddle-type motorcycles; Yamaha, the fourth place, is one of the four largest manufacturers in Japan. Small and medium displacement scooters are hot-selling models in Southeast Asia and other countries, while medium and large displacement straddles bicycles, which are widely praised in North America and European countries; Bajaj, the fifth place, is a large two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycle manufacturer in India, and holds part of KTM brand shares. Its products are sold well in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and other regions.

The sixth TVS Motor, the third largest motorcycle manufacturer in India, mainly produces small-displacement scooters. It has cooperated with Suzuki technology and exported its vehicles to many countries. The seventh Haojue, belonging to Dachangjiang Group Co., Ltd., is also the number one motorcycle manufacturer in China. This sales ranking does not include the joint venture model with Suzuki; Eighth Suzuki, although the automobile industry mainly produces mini-cars and small cars, and also withdrew from the China market in previous years, the motorcycle industry is still a world-renowned brand; The ninth place, Italika, is a well-known motorcycle brand in Mexico. Its main market is in South America, and its products cover scooters, ATV, sports cars and retro cars. The 10th Mavericks, a well-known domestic electric vehicle manufacturer, has exported its products to European countries, and has planned to sell high-performance electric motorcycles, which is also the fastest growing manufacturer in the world.

Almost all of the two-wheel manufacturers announced are just-needed products such as entry-level small displacement, electric vehicles and scooters. Compared with the first-line luxury motorcycle brands, taking Ducati as an example, the world-renowned sports motorcycle manufacturer’s sales in 2021 increased by 24% compared with that in 2020, and the total annual sales reached 59,447. The US market ranked first, with sales of 9,007 vehicles; Ducati’s hometown Italian market ranked second, with a sales volume of 8,707 vehicles; Third place in the German market, with a sales volume of 6,107 vehicles; China sold 4,901 vehicles in the whole year, an increase of 21% compared with last year.

However, the best-selling car in Ducati in 2021 is the adventure car Multistrada V4 (four-cylinder ADV), which has not yet been listed in the China market. It is a brand-new car that has only been released in the world for one year, with a total of 9,957 cars sold. The second-best selling model is the Ducati Scrambler 800 series, and a total of 9,059 retro streetcars were sold. The third place is also the model released in 2021, the new Ducati Monster.

After comparing the sales of the above brands, it can be seen that small-displacement motorcycles and electric vehicles are the main sales forces in the global motorcycle market. Even if the luxury models of big brands have a good sales volume, the annual quantity is less than that of some domestic cars in one month. In the domestic market, although advanced motorcycles have become the target models of many riders, according to market feedback, motorcycles worth 10,000-30,000 yuan are the most concerned price range.

The editor predicts that after the spring of 2022, the motorcycle market in China will once again meet a new wave of enthusiasm, and domestic brands will continue to launch new models quickly, and both motorcycle manufacturers and drivers will reach new heights. With the increase of production and sales, the motorcycle accident rate will also increase relatively. The domestic motorcycle culture is still in the initial stage of development, and the correct riding concept, riding technology and cognition of motorcycles need to be continuously improved and improved.
