Lubricants for Motorcycles, Scooters, and Mopeds: Global Market Analysis and Opportunities

Lubricants for Motorcycles, Scooters, and Mopeds: Global Market Analysis and Opportunities provides an unbiased appraisal of the developments in the two-wheeler lubricants market. The moderately growing global two-wheeler market, which includes motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds, is expected to cross the 800 million-unit mark in terms of overall population by 2022. Two-wheelers are still a popular means of transportation in developing countries, especially in rural and semi-urban areas, where the unreliability of public transportation and poor road conditions have led to an increasing number of people resorting to two-wheelers as an alternative means of transportation. Female riders are especially driving the growth of scooters, which they find to be a convenient mode of transportation due to unsafe and overcrowded public transportation. However, some factors, such as the increasing electric two-wheeler population, restrictions on two-wheeler usage in China, a move toward cars in developing countries with economic growth, and limited use of these vehicles in developed countries restrict faster market development.
