Like many countries the world over, Australia enjoyed resurgent motorcycle sales in 2020 and 2021. The upswing couldn’t last forever, however, as supply shortages and shipment hurdles plagued the industry throughout 2022. Australia’s Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) quantified that impact with its 2022 motorcycle sales report, outlining that the market shrunk to the tune of 19.8 percent last year.
The Land Down Under also includes ATVs in its total tally, which bumps the annual figure to 99,030 units sold. Still, the 123,530 vehicles purchased in 2021 dwarf the 2022 numbers. Within the segments, OHVs performed the poorest. Customers only purchased 15,825 in 2022, a steep decrease from the 28,321 units moved in 2021, amounting 44.1-percent loss.
