1,748,317 units were manufactured last year, an increase of 11.1% compared to 2023; the data is from Abraciclo
Motorcycle production in Brazil maintained its post-pandemic boom in 2024. 1,748,317 units were manufactured last year, which represents an increase of 11.1% compared to 2023. The data are from the (Brazilian Association of Manufacturers of Motorcycles, Mopeds, Mopeds, Bicycles and Similar).
Although the 11.1% growth was the lowest in the post-pandemic period, the trend is upward. The sector has recorded positive numbers since 2020. That year, many Brazilians stayed at home for months because of the lockdown and social isolation measures. This catapulted the delivery market.
“Even in the face of a very challenging year, where we had to overcome the problem of drought, the sector’s growth exceeded 2 digits. This result was thanks to good industry planning that allowed the assembly lines to maintain the production pace”stated the entity’s president, Marcos Bento.
Motorcycle production in December
In the last month of 2024, 123,944 motorcycles left the assembly lines. It is an increase of 5% compared to the same month in 2023 and 15.1% lower compared to November. According to Abraciclo, this was the best result for the month since 2008.
Estimates for 2025
Abraciclo expects growth of 7.5% for the year ahead. The association’s forecast is that the factories in the Manaus Industrial Complex (AM) will produce 1,880,000 motorcycles, around 130,000 more than in 2024.
Sales are expected to reach 2,020,000 units, an increase of 7.7% compared to 2024 registrations. Exports are expected to total 35 thousand units, a volume 13% higher than the 33,750 units registered last year.
For Bento, although the macroeconomic situation presents uncertainties, the demand for motorcycles may continue to be strong due to 3 reasons: affordable price, low maintenance costs and agility in travel.
“The big challenge for manufacturers is to continue meeting the growing market demand, offering consumers products with technology and resources that guarantee safety, quality and respect for the environment”he stated.
