In 2023, Belgium led European motorcycle imports, highlighted by a significant 71.89% year-on-year increase. Germany and the Netherlands followed with 15% and 17.2% increases, respectively. France, Spain, and Italy also showed growth, albeit more modest, while Eastern European countries like Poland, Slovakia, and Estonia reported strong double-digit growth.
Notably, Ireland and Finland showed exceptional growth, at 83.96% and 50.72% respectively. Conversely, Hungary and Luxembourg experienced slight declines. New trends reveal a burgeoning market in less traditional importers like the Baltics and Slovenia.
Looking forward, Europe’s motorcycle import market is expected to be influenced by increasing demand for electric motorcycles, heightened environmental regulations, and the general shift towards urban mobility solutions. Economic shifts in the EU and the growth of the recreational motorcycling market could also bolster imports in countries showing escalating interest. Expanding infrastructure for electric vehicles could create further demand in leading markets and newer entrants.
