The import of motorcycles with reciprocating internal combustion piston engines of a cylinder capacity 250-500 CC to the UK shows a modest growth trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import volume stood at a slightly lower level than the forecasts for subsequent years. The year-on-year growth indicates a consistent but mild increase, averaging about 0.08% per annum over the forecasted period. This gradual rise outlines a steady demand for this segment of motorcycles in the UK market.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards electric motorcycles, impacting the demand for internal combustion engine models.
Regulatory changes or incentives affecting the import and adoption of environmentally friendly technologies in the UK's automotive sector.
Economic conditions influencing disposable income and consumer spending on leisure vehicles such as motorcycles.
