Spain: new motorcycle registrations down slightly YTD
The latest data from ANESDOR, the motorcycle industry trade association in Spain, shows new motorcycle registrations -0.37% for the first three months of the year at 33,096 units. Sales were -37.58% in January and -20.67% in February, but then were up by +89.80% in March (this increase is not surprising given that Spanish motorcycle sales plummeted in March, April and May 2020 due to COVID restrictions).
Total PTW registrations were -4.35% at 36,504 units YTD. That compares to 28,919 units in the same period in 2020 and 24,657 units in 2019.
Jose Maria Riano, General Secretary of ANESDOR, said that "after negative data in January and February, in March the market improved. However, uncertainty over the possible arrival of a fourth wave of the pandemic and the impact of problems in the global logistics and supply chain of some components will be relevant factors in the coming months."
The top selling models in Spain YTD have been the Yamaha NMAX 125 and the Kymco Agility City 125. Honda remains overall market share leader with 20.0% of the Spanish market (6,635 units), followed by Yamaha, BMW, Kymco and Piaggio.
For the record - full year new motorcycle registrations in Spain were +11.07% in 2019 (at 175,585 units) and -11.50% in 2020 (155,391 units). Total PTW registrations were +12.17% (194,663 units) for 2019 and -8.99% (177,155 units) for 2020.
