MILAN (ITALPRESS) – It is the entry into force from Jan. 1 of the Euro 5+ standard for newly registered motorcycles and the resulting surplus of sales recorded in December 2024 that is affecting the opening of the motorcycle, scooter and moped market. In fact, registration figures for January 2025, released by Confindustria Ancma, show an overall -14.4 percent. Getting to the heart of the data analysis, it thus emerges how the surplus of sales realized at the end of 2024 is the main culprit for interfering with normal market dynamics, the rebound effect of which could be felt even in the coming months. It is with this in mind that the January market closes with a decline of 14.22 percent, or 18,097 units come. Particularly suffering are motorcycles, which lose a quarter of the market compared to January 2024 (-25.79%) and plate 6,964 vehicles; scooters hold their ground, registering a 1.42% drop and registering 10,548 vehicles. Decidedly negative, on the other hand, is the first balance of the year for mopeds, which leave 42.31 percentage points on the ground, or 585 units sold. On the contrary, the growth of the quadricycle market continues unabated, which, however, is less affected by the end-of-series phenomenon, thanks to a 45 percent electric-powered fleet that is not subject to the end of Euro5 homologation. As a result, the January market shows an increase of 52.08 percent, or 1,463 units sold. The most popular segment remains light quadricycles for passenger transport, growing 53.19% and putting 1,247 vehicles on the road. Remaining at the starting blocks is the electric two-wheeler market, which is down 21.94 percent in the first month of the year and puts only 281 units on the market. In particular, scooters lose 19.90 percentage points and plate 161 vehicles.(ITALPRESS).-Photo: Ipa Agency-
