Motorcycle, Bike & Parts Manufacturing in Canada industry analysis

Motorcycle, bike and parts manufacturers produce a variety of two-wheeled rides and parts, including on-highway, off-highway and dual motorcycles, alongside scooters, bicycles and parts. While these vehicles offer transportation, consumers primarily purchase bikes and motorcycles for enjoyment and exercise, making them discretionary purchases for most consumers. Canadian producers are largely small independent custom fabricators relying on specific demand trends. Similarly, almost all bicycle and bicycle parts manufacturing activities are done in low volume, mainly using foreign components and typically only adding value through customization. Bombardier Recreational Products (BPR) is the only notable producer in the industry. The industry has largely benefited from outdoor activity and health trends following the pandemic, leading to strong revenue growth despite severe economic uncertainty. Overall, revenue has expanded at an expected CAGR of 13.6% to $2.6 billion through the current period, including a 5.1% increase in 2024, where profit reached 2.6%.

Trends and Insights

  • Stable economic growth, lower input prices, favourable exchange rates and innovations will drive expansion. Manufacturers will continue to produce strong growth and robust returns as conditions improve through the outlook period.
  • High earners are the primary market for Canadian motorcycle, bike and parts manufacturers. These buyers are most likely to purchase premium products.
  • Easy access to trade partners is paramount to manufacturers. Many Canadian manufacturers operate most facilities near key trade routes to easily source inputs and sell finished products.
  • Bike and motorcycle manufacturers face stiff external competition from automakers and public transportation. Bikes and motorcycles are impractical for many consumers, especially in cold climates.
