Paraguay Motorcycles Market is in a positive mood. During the first half 2025, sales have been 38.703 with an increase of 6.2% from the correspondent period last year. The local manufacturer, Kenton, is by far market leader.
Economic Outlook
Paraguay’s economic growth in 2025 remains broadly in line with 2024’s firmness as agricultural and hydroelectric output stabilises at a fair level, following a period of significant volatility. The 1Q25 GDP result was seen as positive, driven by robust performances in industry and services, as well as strong domestic demand, reinforcing expectations of a favorable outlook.
Although export revenues may remain subdued amid weak global commodity prices, net exports are likely to contribute positively, supported by lower import prices, better river conditions for the transport of agricultural exports and the generation of hydroelectricity sold to Brazil.
However, agricultural revenues could face renewed headwinds from softer international prices and the potential return of La Niña in the second half of 2025, while uncertainty around global trade policy and rising protectionist measures may weaken specific export segments such as beef and manufactured goods.
