Two-Wheeler Connectivity Systems Market

Two-Wheeler Connectivity Systems Market Analysis

The Two-wheeler Connectivity Systems Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 46% during the forecast period.

• The COVID-19 pandemic hindered the growth of the two-wheeler market due to shutdowns of manufacturing units and travel restrictions. In addition, with virtually no activity in tourism, the aftermarket segment of the connectivity systems in the two-wheeler market also witnessed a slowdown. As the market gains momentum, it is expected to witness positive growth over the forecast period.
• Smart connection systems provide a better experience and greater safety measures for commuters. Due to linked system solutions, riders will have access to digital information and entertainment while riding their two-wheelers. The rise of linked two-wheelers is expected to create possibilities for connected motorcycles and app developers. Market companies must improve existing applications and develop two-wheeler-specific apps. After the advent of electric motorbikes, the market for two-wheeler connection systems has seen tremendous expansion. The necessity of knowing vital facts such as battery state, driving range, and so on is a major factor in developing electric two-wheeler networking systems.
• Factors like technology advancements, advancements in vehicle safety, the introduction of driver-assist systems in motorcycles, and rapidly growing logistics in the retail and e-commerce sectors have been significantly driving demand for the connected motorcycle market.
• Increasing internet penetration and improvements in Internet connectivity and speed 5G to support vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure, along with the increase in demand for features, like driving assistance systems, real-time safety, navigation, and GPS monitoring, are expected to contribute to market growth.

Two-Wheeler Connectivity Systems Market Trends

Sale of Electric Two-wheelers Poised to Boost Market Growth

• The demand for electric motorcycles is growing around the world. As technological advancements in electric motorcycles are increasing, and the market is witnessing the entry of new players, demand will continue to grow over the years to come.
• Concerns over emissions, increasing consumer awareness, and increasing investments by government authorities to develop electric vehicle charging infrastructure are expected to propel the demand for electric motorcycles.
• With the growing demand for electric motorcycles, many new players have gained a significant market share over the past few years, and existing conventional motorcycle manufacturers are also trying to enter this market. For instance,
• Zero's current product portfolio includes FX, a small on- and off-road capable 'dual-sport' motorcycle starting at USD 9,300, and the SR/S sports bike starting at USD 20,000. The SR/S bike can reach 124 miles per hour and has a range of about 200 miles when equipped with an enhanced battery. Zero offers its motorcycles an app that lets users modify the bikes' various performance parameters, like maximum speed, power, torque, and regenerative braking.
• India is one of the major two-wheeler markets in the world. For the past few years, the country has attracted various global players and several new startups into the market with the launch of new electric motorcycles. Moreover, this trend will continue as many new players have announced new product launches.
• Such factors are likely to drive the demand over the coming years.

Europe Expected to Lead the Market

• Europe is anticipated to hold the major share in the two-wheeler connectivity systems market over the forecast period. A total of 950,400 motorcycles were registered in the main European markets in 2022, compared to 949,480 units in 2021.
• Germany, France, and Italy are witnessing an increasing number of startups and established conventional motorcycle manufacturers launching new two-wheeler connectivity systems in the market. For instance,
• Bosch's rider assistance systems provide adaptive cruise control, forward collision systems, and blind-spot detection. Bosch claims that these systems can prevent one in seven accidents. This technology of Bosch will be adopted in bikes ranging from Ducati and KTM. Bosch is also developing connectivity systems that will alert two-wheelers on the network about the speed and position of other vehicles. This system would be very useful during low visibility situations and blind corners. In case of an accident, an emergency call feature will automatically notify emergency services with the GPS coordinates of the bike.
• Audi and Ducati jointly showcased C-V2X technology as part of the Ducati 2025 roadmap. The technology performs intersection collision warnings, cross-traffic turn collision risk warnings, and warning in case of sudden braking of the vehicle ahead.

Two-Wheeler Connectivity Systems Industry Overview

The two-wheeler connectivity systems market is not dominated by a handful of players, but it is marked by several new startups and established players. Bosch, one of the market leaders, has an integrated connectivity cluster that is a rider information system and connects motorcycles and smartphones. It is used to operate apps, and its connectivity control unit connects motorcycles to the cloud. Manufacturers are showing their presence in this new market, which earlier was dominated by startups, tech companies, and suppliers.

In January 2022, a Chinese motorcycle maker introduced the Shengshi GK350, which is a Chinese rival of the CB300r. The instrument cluster is a Bluetooth-enabled LCD display that supports navigation.
