Motorcycle industry in the United States - statistics & facts
With the first U.S. model produced by the Metz Company in 1898, motorized two-wheelers have become a staple in the United States and global vehicle market. The global motorcycle market was estimated to grow from 140 billion U.S. dollars to some 175 billion in 2029 as the market continues to recover from the revenue drop recorded at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This rebound was somewhat dampened amid supply chain issues in 2022.
In 2023, the United States motorcycle, bicycle, and parts manufacturing gross output reached around 8.4 billion U.S. dollars, a year-over-year increase of approximately 7.4 percent. Consumers in the U.S. bought an estimated 547,000 motorcycles in 2023, up some 1.9 percent compared to 2022 estimates. While sales climbed slightly, the average price of two-wheelers remained relatively stable.
