Africa ICE Two-Wheeler Market Assessment, By Vehicle Type [Motorcycle, Scooters, Mopeds], By Engine Capacity [Less than 125cc, 126-250cc, 251-500cc, 501cc and Above], By Application [Private; Commercial-Service, Industrial], By Region, Opportunities, and Forecast, 2016-2030F

Africa ICE Two-Wheeler Market is anticipated to reach USD 4.55 billion in 2030 at CAGR of 3.61% during the forecast period between 2023 and 2030. The market was valued at USD 3.43 billion in 2022. The African ICE two-wheeler market is expected to register subdued growth over the next several years due to rising popularity of electric two-wheelers as compared to ICE two wheelers. However, significant factors such as that are supporting demand for two-wheelers are its usage for daily commuting amidst traffic congestion in several densely populated cities of Africa.

There are various other factors that drive the demand for ICE two wheelers such as affordability, ease of purchase, lower maintenance costs compared to four-wheelers which all are contributing to the growth of the African ICE two-wheeler market over the forecast period. Furthermore, in emerging economies, the absence of public transport infrastructure has contributed to the rapidly increasing demand for motorcycle taxis, which in turn has supported the rising demand for ICE two-wheelers.

Further supporting the projected expansion of the African ICE two-wheeler market over the next seven years are the establishment of production facilities by the world's largest two wheeler manufacturers, who will benefit from access to inexpensive labour and components. Due to their lightweight design and powerful engines, two-wheeler motorcycles can accelerate more quickly and hence are becoming more popular than other types of ICE two wheelers especially among the younger, aspirational population of African countries.

However, factors such as several countries that have underdeveloped economy in Africa, consumer preferences for inexpensive two wheeler models due to lower disposable income and demand for cheaper, simple to maintain vehicles will limit the growth of the ICE two wheeler market in value terms. 

Significant Growth for Motorcycle Taxis

Motorcycle taxis are known as "Boda Boda" across the majority of Africa, including Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, and other Eastern African nations, and they play a significant role in increasing the sales of two-wheelers. A growing number of urban and rural communities in Africa utilise motorcycle taxis primarily to transport goods and passengers thus supporting last mile reach.

Sales Trend of Used Two-Wheelers

Due to paucity of large two-wheeler manufacturing facilities in African nations during the historic period, imports of two wheelers from countries such as India and China was a major source for catering to the rising demand. Most of the countries in Africa that were witnessing rising demand had limited local two-wheeler assembly and production capacity which promoted the used ICE two-wheeler market both domestically and through imports. As a result, it is anticipated that the expansion of the ICE two-wheeler market in Africa will be limited by the rising sales of used two-wheelers.

Impact of COVID-19 on Africa ICE Two-Wheeler Market

The COVID-19 induced lockdown caused a halt in production that hampered the supply of ICE two-wheelers in several countries of Africa. The ICE two-wheeler market witnessed massive decline in both supply and demand for two wheelers because most of the countries in the region were forced to announce temporary lockdown. Due to the unavailability of port infrastructure and workers, many two-wheeler manufacturing companies were unable to execute their export shipments. Thus, these developments had severely disrupted import-export operations throughout African region across many automobile vehicle types particularly two wheelers.

Post COVID-19 situation, the largely impacted economy of Africa, witnessed a speedy recovery as there was a significant growth demand & import trade and restoration of supply chain network in the automobile and transportation industry. Many global two wheeler manufacturers are now exporting ICE two wheelers to the African region due to the growing demand for shared mobility and also improving economic conditions post pandemic.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War on Africa ICE Two-Wheeler Market

While the African economy was on the path to stable recovery post pandemic, global supply chain disruptions caused due to the Russia Ukraine war which raised fuel prices, disrupted global trade in the automobile industry and specifically for the two wheelers market in Africa. As a result of these factors and increase in price of fuel led to the temporary decrease in demand for ICE two-wheelers.
