A forecast projects the global motorcycle market will grow to roughly $220 billion by 2036. It suggests growth will be supported by the dual structure of practical and leisure demand, layered with a gradual shift toward electrification.
Technically, the fact that electrification is described as a 'gradual' shift matters. Looking at the data, two-wheeler EV adoption shows more regional variance than four-wheelers. From a battery standpoint, electric fits best for short distances and small vehicles. Setting emotional argument aside, I consider the essence of this to be how electric ends up eating into that $220 billion breakdown.

Probably a forecast built on both sides growing — utility demand in emerging markets and leisure demand in developed ones.
Hard to get a feel for the overall size of the global motorcycle market from individual daily news pieces, so this helps.
Even if it's gradual, having electrification factored in as a growth driver feels like steady progress.
Framing it as a two-tier structure of utility vs. leisure demand makes the market pretty easy to understand.
This two-tier framing feels like it could become a standard lens for tracking industry trends going forward.
The phrase "gradual shift to electric" made me feel the forecast for EVs is more conservative than I expected.
True, other surveys are forecasting rapid growth, so this projection reads as a bit on the cautious side.
$220 billion by 2036 is a pretty specific number for a 10-year-out forecast — curious what it's based on.
