An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is a vehicle fitted with four low-pressure tires and handle bars. ATVs are known for their maneuverability & off-road capabilities and are applicable in military, survey, forestry, agriculture, sports, and others. These are handled quite differently and require training. These are usually used in off-road environments, but few regions permit the use of these vehicles on public roads as well.

A utility terrain vehicle (UTV) is a vehicle designed to perform tasks in an efficient manner than a general-purpose vehicle. It is also known as a side-by-side, four-wheel drive off-road vehicle, with a capacity of two to six people. Recreational off-highway (ROV) and multi-purpose off-highway utility vehicle (MOHUV) are other terms used for this vehicle.

Increase in trend of adventure sports & recreational activities, adoption of ATV and UTV in military activities, and government rules to support driving ATVs and UTVs on road, propel the growth of the ATV and UTV market. However, ban on ATV and UTV driving in wildlife area due to terrain damage and high maintenance cost of ATVs and UTVs hinder the growth of the market. Furthermore, production of safer ATVs and UTVs is a remarkable future growth opportunity for the global ATV and UTV market.
