Spain: motorcycle registrations +11.70% to July 2021
The latest data from ANESDOR, the motorcycle industry trade association in Spain, shows new motorcycle registrations declining in June (-11.59%/18,622 units) and July (-26.41%/17,524 units) to +11.70% (99,514 units) for the first seven months of the year, as the market laps the extraordinary bounce seen in registrations in June and, especially, July 2020.
While the YTD is some 10,000 units ahead of the same period of 2020, the market remains around 10,000 units behind the first seven months of 2019 - but this year's market performance is the second best for January to July since before the 2007/2009 financial crisis.
At 109,916 units YTD, total PTW registrations for the seven-month period were +9.71%, which is ahead of 2020 but also behind the same period for 2019 (120,033 units).
Because of its strength in the scooter and >125 cc markets, Honda was market leader YTD, followed by Yamaha, Piaggio (Vespa, Aprilia, Moto Guzzi etc.), BMW and Taiwan's Kymco. The top selling motorcycle was the Kawasaki Z 900.
For the record - full year new motorcycle registrations in Spain were 175,585 units in 2019 (+11.07% over 2018) and (theoretically) -11.55% in 2020 compared to 2019 at 155,298 units.
