T
he Motorcycle Industry Association (AISI) reports that sales grew by only 1.54 percent last year, with 6.3 million two-wheelers sold in 2024, up from 6.2 million units in 2023.
Last year’s realization fell within the industry’s target range of between 6.2 million and 6.5 million units. That is equal to an average of around 531,000 units per month.
Sales reached their peak in July, amounting to 598,901 units after a previous dip in April at 419,136 units.
Motorcycles using automatic transmission or scooter models dominated the domestic sales with the lion’s share of 90.39 percent. The rest were underbone models, or those using manual transmissions with a 5.4 percent share, as well as sports models with a 4.21 percent share.
Exports also rose slightly last year, with a 0.43 percent increase of shipments to 572,506 in 2024 from 570,004 units in 2023. Scooters made up half of the exports at 50.06 percent, followed by underbone models at 25.48 percent and sports at 24.45 percent.

However, with modest growth recorded last year, the AISI has warned that 2025 would be a challenging year given the fact that regional governments would introduce a number of additional taxes levied on new purchases.
