Southeast Asia Two-Wheeler Market Analysis

The public transportation infrastructure in numerous Southeast Asian cities is currently in the process of development, resulting in gaps in coverage and limited connectivity to specific areas. Two-wheelers play a crucial role as a means of last-mile connectivity, bridging the distance between public transport hubs and final destinations. In nations such as Thailand and the Philippines, motorcycle taxis, referred to as “habal-habal” or “motorcycle taxis,” are a popular option for short-distance travel, particularly in locations where traditional taxis or ride-sharing services may not be easily accessible. This dependence on two-wheelers for last-mile connectivity fuels the demand for motorcycles and scooters in the region. Furthermore, the rise of food delivery services and e-commerce platforms has further boosted the demand for two-wheelers in Southeast Asia. Delivery riders rely on motorcycles and scooters to fulfill orders quickly and efficiently, contributing to the overall growth of the market.

Some of the major players operating in the market include PT Astra Honda Motor, Yamaha Indonesia Motor Mfg., Thai Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Yamaha Motor Vietnam Co., Ltd., Kawasaki Motors, Ltd., Zero Motorcycles Inc., Hero Electric Vehicles Pvt. Ltd, Vmoto Ltd., and AIMA Technology Group Co. Ltd. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.

Southeast Asia Two-Wheeler Market Trends

Favorable Government Policies and Incentives

Governments in nations such as Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia have implemented a range of incentives and regulations to promote the adoption of electric two-wheelers. These measures encompass tax breaks, subsidies, and waivers for registration fees and road taxes. For example, the Thai government provides subsidies of up to 18,000 baht (around USD 500) for the purchase of electric motorcycles. Similarly, Indonesia has established a goal of manufacturing 2.5 million electric motorcycles annually by 2035.Furthermore, the rising recognition of the ecological consequences caused by conventional gasoline-powered automobiles has led consumers in Southeast Asia to become more mindful of their carbon footprint. Electric two-wheelers present a sustainable option, as they produce no direct emissions and entail considerably lower operational expenses in comparison to their gasoline counterparts. This increasing environmental awareness, especially among younger age groups, is fueling the desire for electric two-wheelers.

Indonesia Dominated the Southeast Asia Two-Wheeler Market

Indonesian market has dominated the two-wheeler market and is expected to behave in the same fashion due to the large consumer base. As Indonesia is the world’s fourth-most-populous country in the world with 279 million people residing in the country. Additionally, due to the increasing demand for economic transportation mode and improved road infrastructure the demand for two-wheelers has increased in the last couple of years. For instance, according to the report published by “The Association of Indonesia Motorcycle Industry (AISI)” a total of 521,424 units sold in the March 2021 which increased to 592,658 units sold in January 2024. Additionally, the Indonesian government tightening its monetary policy, making financing for motorcycle purchases harder. Furthermore, mobility service providers growing rapidly in Indonesia like Gojek, Tokopedia and Bluebird, which accelerated the demand in motorcycles and passenger cars parallelly over the past decade.
