For off-road activities like racing & riding on extremely difficult terrain, buyers and enthusiasts prefer high-performance cars in this power output range. High-performance suspension systems, sophisticated powertrains, and reinforced chassis are just a few of the things that manufacturers are making investments in to increase the performance and longevity of these cars.
End use Outlook
Based on end use, the market is fragmented into agriculture, military, mountaineering and others. The others segment procured a promising growth rate in the market in 2022. Due to the increasing demand for ATVs in the agricultural sector for farm-related activities, field plowing, animal handling, weed control, and general transportation, the segment exhibits lucrative market opportunities throughout the projection period. Furthermore, all-terrain vehicles are becoming increasingly necessary in various industrial applications, including mining, construction, manufacturing, and utilities, because of their versatility and durability.
Fuel type Outlook
By fuel type, the market is bifurcated into gasoline powered, diesel powered, electric powered and solar powered. In 2022, the gasoline powered segment registered the maximum revenue share in the market. Gas-powered ATVs and UTVs are included in this category. A significant portion of ATVs and UTVs are fueled by gasoline, which is precisely blended with oil to preserve engine parts and enable quick acceleration. The launch of a new range of vehicles with upgraded engines, enhanced efficiency, and increased safety measures helps to accelerate the expansion of gasoline-powered ATVs and UTVs.
Regional Outlook
Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA In 2022, the North America region led the market by generating the highest revenue share. Leading all-terrain vehicle manufacturers based in the United States and Canada, like Polaris, Textron, BRP, and American Honda Motors, are essential to the market growth in this region.
