What are power sports?

The sub-category of motorsports vehicles is classified as power sports vehicles. The engine and handlebars, which regulate the vehicle's movement, are the vehicle's most prominent features. The industry participants have made significant investments as a result of the introduction of vehicles with increased performance. Side-by-side vehicles (SSVs), all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), dirt bikes, snowmobiles, powerboats, motorbikes, and personal watercraft are all examples of power sports vehicles. These vehicles are commonly used in outdoor leisure places like theme parks, trails, and wilderness areas.

These high-performance vehicles are designed so as to endure extreme operational and environmental conditions and are intended to be used for off-highway and on-highway purposes.

Market Dynamics

Some of the major market drivers are:

• The surge in the growth in the youth interest towards power sports.
• Surge in government initiatives towards the development of necessary power sports infrastructure.
• Increasing power sports activities being organized in different countries.
• High ownership and maintenance costs associated with power sports vehicles are among the major reasons limiting the industry's growth.

Due to their use in harsh environments and rugged terrains, these vehicles require constant maintenance and repair. They are subjected to high temperature and water conditions, causing essential components like the engine and hull to deteriorate.

Overall, the market grew by 10% in terms of units in the year 2020, a growth rate that the industry never achieved or even reached close to it in the past decade. The long-term outlook is also extremely pleasing keeping the mind the growth and demand for power sports, especially ORVs and PWCs.

Segment Analysis

Vehicle Type

The market is segmented as off-road vehicles (ORVs), snowmobiles, heavyweight motorcycles, and personal watercraft. Off-road vehicles hold the dominance in the market, followed by motorcycles, PWCs, and snowmobiles. ORVs have capacities to traverse all terrains and offer ease of mobility and lower carbon emissions, the factors driving the demand for ORVs. Along with these factors, other noticeable advantages of ORVs are lower vehicle weight, a lower driving age limit for ORVs compared to other power sports vehicles, and cheaper maintenance costs. Furthermore, the introduction of new hybrid and alternative fuel-powered ORVs with low or zero-emissions fuels the market growth. In ORVs, there has been a paradigm shift from ATVs to SSVs in the wake of additional benefits of SSVs over ATVs.

Regional Analysis 

North America is expected to remain the largest market during the forecast period due to factors such as a rise in regional engagements in leisure and recreational activities, as well as growing demand for powersports vehicles for snowmobile and water surfing. Although Asia-Pacific is a small market, it is predicted to expand rapidly with the increasing consumer disposable income and the growing interest in Powersports among the regional urban population, fueling the market demand in the region.
