Royal Enfield Global Registrations are on fire. Following a stripe of two all-time records in the previous two years, during the first half of the 2025 global sales increased again, overtaking the half million units. Now the company advanced as 9th largest 2-wheeler manufacturer in the world.
McD tracks new vehicles registrations across the World (over 85 countries), reporting data on calendar year. When you wish to compare data reported by us to those declared by the manufacturers, consider they usually report their “sales” (vehicles invoiced), which are usually different from “registrations”, accordingly with their fiscal year split.
Royal Enfield is a great success story started when during the 2013, the owner, Eicher Motor, an Indian company specialized in commercial vehicles, decided to build a new and modern plant in Oragadam (India), the base for volume expansion.
The job done in the last 12 years is outstanding and if in 2012 Royal Enfield global sales had been only 113K, 99.9% made in India, in the fiscal year 2025 the company will achieved the milestone of 1 million sales.
The company have created a wide range of models, all focusing on a “retro” style and based on only three engines (350cc, 500cc and 650cc) with a unique attention to all the details relevant to create a brand value and perception, outstanding for an Indian company.
The advantage to have lower cost of production is relevant, but not essential into the Royal Enfield success.
Following a stripe of two all-time records in the previous two years, during the first half of the 2025 global sales increased again, overtaking the half million units (+17.3%)
Sales growth was huge in the Indian region (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and others) with a +17.1%, but was relevant in Latin America (+68.5%) and in East Europe (+28.6%). In Western Europe sales are declining for the first time (-7.1%) but the reason are in the market trend and not in RE performance.
Royal Enfield actually ranks as 9th 2-Wheeler manufacturer in the world, while considering only the motorcycle segment (excluding scooters and moped) it is sixth.
