Increase in demand for two-wheeler due to traffic congestion
Motorcycles are the most common means of transportation used by people to get from one place to another. These allow the riders to maneuver through confined spaces. Several types of motorcycles, such as sports bikes, cruiser bikes, and touring bikes have been launched over the years to meet the needs of different customers.
There is a significant increase in the demand for motorcycles and scooters in rural areas owing to the lack of well-established public transportation. Consumers in rural regions turned to buy motorcycles to avoid the high selling prices and tax rates of four-wheelers. Thus, increased employment, improvements in disposable income, and rise in traffic congestion are fueling demand for motorcycles in developing regions. This increased demand for two-wheelers across the globe creates a direct impact for the growth of the motorcycle seat market share across the globe.
Increased investment by manufacturers in motorcycle industry for superior performance and comfort
The trend of motorcycle riding is increasing among youth globally due to the availability of superior quality bikes. Also, the young consumers are very selective about the performance and comfort of motorcycles, which has enabled the motorcycle seat manufacturers to develop comfortable seats for motorcycles. For instance, in June 2021, Torrot Electric Europa S.A. announced the launch of new generation of Motorcycles in the Motocross, Trial, Enduro and Supermotard models. The motorcycles featured a simple and intuitive battery exchange system, without connectors or cables, which allowed the motorcycle to be ready to run again in less than 15 seconds.
Also, in 2020, BMW AG launched the new ACC system. The new BMW Motorrad Active Cruise Control (ACC) is projected to give utmost comfort as well as safety to the rider while riding. Therefore, growth in investment by manufacturers for high performance with enhanced safety and comfort creates ample opportunities for the growth of the motorcycle seats market during the forecast period.
Volatility in the prices of metal
The materials used for manufacturing the motorcycle seat majorly constitute of fiber and leather. Some of the suppliers of these materials include includes companies such as Bitchin Seat Company, Corbin-Pacific Inc., and HESS, LLC. One of the major restraining factor is the overall cost that is increased due the type of the material used for making the seat. Therefore, fluctuation in the cost of such material results in fluctuations in the prices of manufacturing seats, thereby hampering the growth of the market.
The growing trade war among numerous countries such as the U.S. and China has caused prices of materials to escalate at an alarming rate. In July 2020, the U.S. tariffs on metal imports increased the prices of steel by around 38–42% as compared to 2019. This has affected the automotive industry, which majorly uses metal. Manufacturers are expected to lower the operating margins to sustain the market growth. Similarly, auto-component suppliers are affected due to the increased manufacturing cost of the product which hampers the market growth. Thus, the overall increased price of a vehicle is anticipated to result in decline in the sales of vehicle during the forecast period.
Incorporation of cutting-edge technology in motorcycles
Manufacturers are focusing on advancing motorcycles with latest technologies such as Bluetooth speaker framework, navigation associates, and different horns to attract customers in the global motorcycle industry. Furthermore, motorcycle manufacturers are also focusing on new inventions related to frame metals, riding styles, and seat shapes.
