  1. Increasing Penetration of Electric Two-Wheelers
    Environmental concerns and favorable government policies are accelerating the shift from internal combustion engine (ICE) two-wheelers to electric variants, driving new market growth.
  2. Rising Youth Population and Lifestyle Shifts
    A growing young population with aspirations for independence and mobility is fueling demand for scooters and motorcycles, especially in countries with expanding middle classes.

Asia Pacific dominates the two-wheelers market globally (with India and China accounting for most of the share). Concerns over COVID-19 contamination on public transportation, clogged roads, and the development of one-person homes in Asia have all contributed to a spike in demand for smaller displacement motorbikes and mopeds during the past two years. New laws are also required as these cars become more prevalent. For instance, Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, plans to outlaw motorbikes in all its central districts after 2025 to reduce emissions (Vietnam is the fourth-largest market in Asia in terms of volume sales). These elements will have an impact on market expansion. These emission curbs are increasing the demand of electric two wheelers globally. Therefore, increase in the adoption of electric two wheelers-globally, especially in the emerging countries market is expected to drive the global two-wheeler market. To serve a larger urban client base, Honda, a top producer of motorcycles and scooters, is committed to growing its product selection and electrification lineup. Honda’s biggest market is India. Honda’s largest production base, with a capacity of 6.4 million units, is also in India. Moreover, the corporation can produce 5.8 million units in Indonesia. Indonesia is one of Honda’s biggest scooter markets as a result. To grow the business and maintain the current growth rate, the firm intends to release several e-2W models over the next three years. Also, it has plans to enter the 250 CC and above motorbike sector, which is seeing rapid expansion. Overall, the market is undergoing transformation and during the forecast period, the market will grow as the demand is surging globally.
