Motorcycle sales & market shares in 2020

The IVM has published new motorcycle registrations for December 2020. This also makes it clear how 2020 will have gone in total in terms of motorcycle sales. We take a look at the market shares of the manufacturers as well as the most popular machines in the past year.
 
At the end of the year, motorcycle sales rose again strongly in December. 13,538 two-wheelers incl. 125s and scooters were brought to the man/ woman in 12/2020. In December 2019, there were only 2,909 units - so we are talking about growth of 365 percent! If you limit yourself to motorcycles over 125 cc without scooters, there will be 8,297 units in December 2020, 328 percent more than in December 2019.

Motorcycle sales for the full year 2020: up 16.89 percent

Let's look at the full year 2020: A total of 132,126 motorcycles were sold. This is an increase of almost 17 percent compared to the previous year. If we add 125 and scooters, we are talking about 218,778 two-wheelers sold in 2020 (2019: 165,311) and growth of 32.34 percent.

New registrations have been on the rise since 2010

By 2010, new registrations for motorcycles had fallen. A look at our statistics section shows that in 2010, about 122,000 two-wheelers were sold. Since then, it's only been uphill. Last year, the b196 driver's license reform was one of the reasons why 125and light-duty scooters were sold extremely well.
