Africa Two-Wheeler Market to Cross $ 9 Billion by 2021
Booming motorcycle taxi
business, lack of reliable public transportation system and increasing
population to drive sales of two-wheelers in Africa
According to TechSci Research report, “Africa Two Wheeler Market By Vehicle Type, By Country, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2011 – 2021”,
the two-wheeler market in Africa is forecast to cross US$ 9 billion by 2021. South
Africa, Nigeria and Tanzania are the largest two-wheeler markets in Africa,
followed by Kenya, Algeria, Uganda, Egypt, Morocco, Angola and Ethiopia. According to the World Bank, the population of Africa is forecast to
reach 2.8 billion by 2060. As the population of the continent continues to grow
at an alarming rate, governments and other stakeholders are coming under
pressure to develop and strengthen transport networks. Public transportation system
in African countries is still inadequate and poorly developed, and consequently,
two-wheelers are becoming a key medium for transportation in urban as well as
rural settlements.
In Africa,
two-wheelers offer an affordable mode of transportation. Workers as well as
travellers, who earlier used to prefer other modes of transportation, are increasingly
switching to two-wheelers, to avoid the frantic traffic in the cities across
major African countries. Moreover, rising fuel prices is also driving demand
for two-wheelers in the continent due to their higher fuel efficiency.
Furthermore, as driving license is not mandatory for driving gearless
two-wheelers in majority of the African countries, tourists visiting the
continent usually opt for two-wheelers for transportation purpose.
On the basis of vehicle type, the two-wheeler market in Africa has been
segmented into two categories, namely, motorcycle and scooter. Among these categories,
motorcycle segment dominated the continent’s two-wheeler market in 2015, owing to
various associated advantages such as quicker acceleration,
better engine capacity, large fuel tank, larger wheel base and easy
maintenance. Moreover, booming motorcycle taxis business in African countries
is further augmenting demand for motorcycles in the continent. Backed by rapid
urbanization, growing population and inadequate means of transportation, the
segment is anticipated to maintain its dominance over the next five years as
well.

“In Africa, South Africa was the major demand generator
of two-wheelers in 2015. Growing per capita income, increasing employment opportunities, developing
infrastructure and vast reserves of natural resources are driving the country’s
economic growth. According to the Association of Motorcycle Importers and
Distributors, the country registers huge demand for premium motorcycle with an
engine capacity of more than 500cc, and the same trend is expected to continue
over the next five years as well. As these high-end motorcycles are
comparatively costlier than other motorcycles with low engine capacities, the
two-wheeler market of South Africa is expected to grow at a healthy pace in
value terms over the next five years.”, said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a
