Spain: motorcycles +7.34% to November
The latest data from ANESDOR - the motorcycle industry trade association in Spain - show that motorcycle registrations in September were +2.77% (15,795 units), +4.82% (14,318 units) in October and +13.56% in November (14,786 units).
That represents the best November market performance in Spain since before 2009 and likely represents further evidence of growing inventories as the logistics challenges that affected deliveries from the Japanese factories, especially, started to ease up in late summer.
In year-to-date terms, motorcycle registrations had climbed to +7.34% at 164,111 units for the first 11 months of 2022 - fractionally the second best in Spain since before 2009 (2019 saw 164,916 units sold).
Moped registrations in Spain were -10.94% YTD at 14,374 units, with total PTWs running at +5.59% at 178,485 units registered so far in 2022.
Demand for electric powered PTWs was +29.9% in November at 864 units and +61.0% at 9,558 units YTD.
Honda remains market share leader in Spain with a 21.8% share (35,824 units), followed by Yamaha (11.9%, 19,592 units), KYMCO (7.0%, 11,518 units), BMW (6.6%, 10,912 units) and Piaggio (6.3%/10,3896 units) in fifth, ahead of Sym, KTM, Kawasaki, Zontes and Aprilia.
Honda's PCX 125 is the top seller YTD, followed by the Sym Symphony 125, Honda SH 125I, KYMCO Agility City 125 and Honda Forza 125.
For the record - motorcycle registrations in Spain were +6.26% for the full year in 2021 at 165,115 units. The Spanish market had not yet caught up with 2019 registrations though (175,585 units), but 2021 was the second-best motorcycle and scooter market performance in Spain since before 2009. In total PTW terms, 2021 was +3.26% (182,922 units) - also the second-best since before the 2007/2009 financial crisis.
