Canada Motorcycles Market rebounds after the hash period, when it was hit by US duties policy. The start of 2026 is promising, with sales grew up at 11.717 (+7.2%) after three months and positive outlook for the rest of the year.
Motorcycles Industry Trend and Perspectives
Canadian motorcycles industry is relatively small and very stable around the 70K sales per year (motorcycles+scooters). However, all top manufacturers are operating in the country and recently Indian and Chinese producers are considering to establish local operations.
Following years of stability, in 2025 the market was disrupted by the effect of new US economic strategy, which at the end penalized import of 2-wheelers from US to Canada, resulting in a market decline and sales at 63.382, down 5.7%.
However, the start of 2026 is promising, with sales grew up at 11.717 (+7.2%) after three months and positive outlook for the rest of the year.
Sales of electric vehicles keep growing and after the +19.1% reported last year, the segment is now growing 25.8%.
