While smaller motorcycles with engine capacities below 150cc have traditionally dominated the market, there has been a growing demand for motorcycles with engine capacities between 150cc and 250cc. This can be attributed to the increasing purchasing power of Thai consumers and their desire for more powerful and feature-rich motorcycles. Another trend in the market is the rising popularity of electric motorcycles. As environmental concerns become more prominent, there is a growing interest in electric vehicles, including motorcycles. The Thai government has also introduced various incentives and subsidies to promote the adoption of electric motorcycles, which has further fueled their demand.

The country is home to several major motorcycle manufacturers, both domestic and international, which has contributed to the growth of the on-road motorcycles market. The presence of these manufacturers has also led to a wide range of options for consumers, with motorcycles available at different price points and specifications.

Firstly, the country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, which has resulted in an increase in disposable income and purchasing power of consumers. This has enabled more individuals to afford motorcycles and contribute to the market's growth. Secondly, Thailand has a young and growing population, with a significant portion of the population entering the workforce. This demographic trend has led to an increased demand for affordable and efficient modes of transportation, such as motorcycles. Lastly, the government's focus on infrastructure development, particularly in the transportation sector, has also played a role in the growth of the on-road motorcycles market. The expansion of road networks and the improvement of public transportation systems have made motorcycles a more viable and convenient option for commuting in Thailand.
