Israel Motorcycles Market is recovering. In 2025 motorcycles demand has been more robust and after eleven months reached the 19.162 (+8.4%), with the scooter segment up 12.8% and the motorcycles up 4.1%.
Economic Outlook
Growth is expected to accelerate from 3.3% in 2025 to 4.9% in 2026, and remain strong at 4.6% in 2027 following the release of the hostages and the ceasefire. The private sector will lead the economic expansion, while military spending contracts. As supply constraints fade, inflation is expected to fall from 3.1% in 2025 to 2.4% in 2026 and to 2% in 2027.
Stabilizing inflation around 2% while supply-side conditions improve requires continued gradual easing of monetary policy. Accelerating regulatory reforms will support long-term growth.
Geopolitical changes support stronger economic expansion. The ceasefire has important economic implications, including a decline in the risk premium. After the war brought economic activity to a complete halt, with a 1.1% contraction in GDP in the second quarter, activity rebounded sharply with 3% growth in the third quarter.
