Spanish market continues upward trend

Spanish motorcycle trade association ANESDOR has released motorcycle and moped registration data for April this year that shows the growth trend in Spain first seen late last year continuing.

Motorcycle registrations in Spain in April were up by 17.8 percent (9,807 units) from 8,337 in April 2013, with year-to-date market performance up 22.4 percent at 30,257 units from the 24,790 seen for the first four months of 2013.

While the (surprisingly) small moped market in Spain remains sluggish (-6.1 percent for the first four months of this year at 3,758 units) the total PTW registration figures reflect the strength of motorcycle sales with April being 12.9 percent up on April of 2013 (at 10,765 units) and the year-to-date being up 18.4 percent at 34,208 units (compared to 28,898 for the first four months of 2013).
Jose Maria Riano, Secretary General of ANESDOR, said that “the motorcycle market continued to improve in April, and the main reason is the improved economic situation, but better weather so far this year has also played a part.

“ANESDOR also believes that the time, cost and emissions savings offered by PTWs as a favourable urban transport solution are positive messages that are gaining increasing recognition with consumers in Spain, and as a trade association we plan to market these advantages heavily in the coming months”.
