Middle East two-wheeler market has potential to grow during the forecast period due to fast growing e-commerce companies and rising transportation industry.

Middle East Two-Wheeler Market Overview

Two-wheelers primarily consist of motorcycles, mopeds and scooters that are either powered by gasoline or electric motors. Two wheelers have several operational benefits and reduced maintenance costs, making them a more cost-effective means of transportation than three- or four-wheeler vehicles. Moreover, the popularity of two wheelers has increased significantly and become the key logistic transportation for many intracity travel in Middle East region. There are different types of two wheelers, namely standard, street/naked bikes, sport bikes, cruisers, adventure tourers, dirt bikes, and dual-purpose.

Middle East Two-Wheeler Market Driver

Increasing Demand for Two Wheelers in Logistic Industry

One of the key reasons for the increased demand for Middle East two-wheelers is that they deliver better mileage than passenger cars due to their smaller size and lighter weight. Furthermore, the tax and insurance incurred in owning a two-wheeler is also low compared to passenger car.

The demand for two-wheelers is growing as e-commerce activities in the Middle East region increases. Over the past several years, the region has seen a large increase in the number of e-commerce startups. In the area, two-wheelers are essential for delivering online grocery, food, and merchandise. E-commerce giants like Amazon, Dominos, and others are expanding their fleet of two-wheelers to transport items more quickly and affordably across the Middle East. Furthermore, the two-wheeler market in the Middle East is also being driven by the demand for last-mile delivery, the shift in customer expectations toward additional offerings such as free shipping and businesses moving to a less expensive delivery option.

Middle East Two-Wheeler Market Challenge

Import Driven Two Wheeler Market

Owing to their dependence on other countries such as European countries, China, India, and the United States for two-wheeler supply, the major middle Eastern Nations have a restricted supply of stock. Owing to this, the two-wheeler market in the Middle East is growing more slowly. Moreover, because the market is import-driven, there are few motorcycle brands available, which drives up the cost of two-wheelers in the area by increasing import and custom charges as well as additional taxes. Furthermore, the sales of two-wheelers imported from Europe, China, and India are limited due to supply chain disruption.

Additionally, the Mideast region has higher temperatures compared to other regions, which led to a preference among consumers for four-wheel vehicles such as passenger automobiles over two-wheelers. Owing to the intense heat, riding a two-wheeler in Saudi Arabia might be difficult and is not recommended for everyone.

Middle East Two-Wheeler Market Trend

Increasing recreation activity and increasing demand for electric two wheelers

Middle Eastern nations such as Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and others prioritize providing tourists with travel experiences through a variety of events such as Dakar rally, wherein numerous two-wheeler manufacturers take part to display their most recent products. Moreover, there are numerous cultural festivals held in Saudi Arabia where bikers from clubs in countries such as Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE, and Oman participate. This increases demand for individual two-wheelers in the Middle East. In 2023, global electric motorcycle sector exceeded 10 million sales annually, which is more than 80% increase over 2019 sales. According to Travis Vander Zanden, the founder of Bird, around 40% of automobile rides are less than two miles long. Owing to the aforementioned factors, e-scooters are a viable replacement for shorter travels as they can travel more than 40 to 50 miles on a single charge. Furthermore, the Middle East region is seeing an increase in demand for electric scooters as a result of lower prices and greater accessibility in cities with problems such as increased congestion and parking shortages.
