Guidehouse Insights Report Shows Annual Unit Sales of Electric Motorcycles Are Expected to Grow from 1.1 Million in 2021 to 3.6 Million by 2030

Cost decreases, improvements in lithium ion battery technology, and emissions standards are expected to increase e-motorcycle adoption over the decade

BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new report from Guidehouse Insights analyzes the global market for electric motorcycles (e-motorcycles), providing forecasts for sales and market share through 2030.

E-motorcycles have struggled to catch on as quickly as other electric two-wheel vehicles (E2WVs), largely due to the extensive range requirements of consumers. However, the technology holds strong potential over the next 10 years due to increasingly stringent emissions standards, e-motorcycle purchase incentives, and the establishment of low and zero emission zones. Click to tweet: According to a new report from @WeAreGHInsights, global annual unit sales of e-motorcycles are expected to grow from nearly 1.1 million in 2021 to 3.6 million by 2030 at a 14.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

“Despite market challenges, the long-term outlook for e-motorcycles remains promising,” says Ryan Citron, senior research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “Cost decreases and improvements in lithium ion (Li-ion) battery technology are expected to result in lower cost and higher performing products, while major manufacturers are poised to assume much larger roles in e-motorcycle product and technology development over the coming decade.”

According to the report, battery swapping and fleet electrification also offer opportunities for accelerated growth of the e-motorcycle industry. Regionally, China dominates the e-motorcycle market, accounting for 90% of e-motorcycle unit sales today. This figure is expected to reduce to 42% by 2030 as sales in other countries grow far more quickly, with most of the new growth expected to come from India, other areas within Asia Pacific (i.e., Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia), and Europe.
