Additionally, motorcycles are able to navigate through traffic congestion more easily than larger vehicles, allowing for faster and more efficient transportation.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the motorcycles market in Cameroon is the growing popularity of motorcycles as a means of income generation. Many individuals are using motorcycles for ride-hailing services, delivery services, and other entrepreneurial ventures.

Additionally, motorcycles are often more accessible and affordable than cars, making them a preferred mode of transportation in areas with limited public transportation options.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The economic growth in Cameroon has had a positive impact on the motorcycles market. As the country's economy continues to expand, more individuals have disposable income to spend on transportation options. This, coupled with the increasing urbanization and population growth, has created a favorable environment for the motorcycles market to thrive. In conclusion, the motorcycles market in Cameroon is experiencing growth due to customer preferences for affordable and efficient transportation options. The increasing urbanization, population growth, and the need for income generation have contributed to the rising demand for motorcycles. Additionally, the shift towards electric motorcycles and the country's road infrastructure have also played a role in shaping the market.
