Description

The global two-wheeler (2W) market is set for steady growth in 2025, fueled by economic recovery, technological innovation, and shifting consumer preferences. As the push for sustainable mobility gains momentum, the market is undergoing a notable transformation—electric two-wheelers (e2Ws) are rapidly gaining popularity, especially in urban hubs across Europe, China, and India. Meanwhile, internal combustion engine (ICE) 2Ws continue to lead in emerging markets, where factors such as affordability, infrastructure limitations, and fuel availability sustain strong demand, particularly in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

New business models are reshaping the landscape, designed to meet the evolving needs of urban consumers. Strategic partnerships among traditional OEMs, electric vehicle start-ups, technology companies, and battery suppliers are also accelerating innovation and expanding access.

Despite ongoing challenges, such as geopolitical tensions, trade barriers, tariffs, and shifting regulatory policies impacting supply chains and component costs, the market is adapting through localization, diversified sourcing, and more resilient manufacturing strategies.

In essence, the 2W market is becoming increasingly connected, sustainable, and consumer-focused. With significant potential for innovation and growth, especially in emerging economies, 2Ws remain a critical mode of transportation and a gateway to greater mobility access.

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the global 2W market, highlighting key trends, growth drivers, and challenges. It includes regional forecasts across major markets—South Asia, APAC, ASEAN, Europe, North America, Latin America, and Africa. The study also outlines strategic growth opportunities for OEMs, suppliers, and new entrants by examining evolving business models and emerging customer segments.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
