Market Overview
The global Scooter market was valued at USD 69.51 billion in 2023 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. A scooter is a type of motorized vehicle that typically has a small frame, two wheels, and a handlebar for steering. It is often used for personal transportation, especially in urban areas, due to its compact size, easy maneuverability, and low cost compared to other motorized vehicles.
Scooters can be powered by gasoline, electric batteries, or hybrid engines. Gasoline-powered scooters typically have a larger engine and higher top speed, while electric scooters are quieter, more environmentally friendly, and less expensive to operate. Hybrid scooters combine the benefits of both gasoline and electric power, offering greater range and fuel efficiency.
Scooters come in various sizes, from small models designed for children to larger models for adults. They can also come in different styles, such as classic Vespa-style scooters, sporty models designed for higher speeds, and off-road scooters designed for rough terrain.
The global scooter market has experienced significant growth in recent years due to factors such as increasing urbanization, growing demand for cost-effective transportation options, and the rising popularity of eco-friendly vehicles. The market is expected to continue to grow at a steady rate over the next few years.
Electric scooters have emerged as a major trend in the global scooter market, with the growing popularity of eco-friendly transportation options and increasing investment in electric vehicle technology. The adoption of electric scooters is also driven by the rising awareness of the harmful effects of pollution on the environment and the need for sustainable transportation options.
Asia-Pacific is the largest market for scooters, accounting for a significant share of the global market due to the high population density, increasing urbanization, and growing demand for cost-effective transportation options in the region. Europe and North America are also significant markets for scooters, driven by the increasing demand for eco-friendly transportation options and the growing popularity of electric scooters.

Impact of COVID
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global scooter market, particularly during the early stages of the outbreak when lockdowns and travel restrictions were imposed in many countries. The pandemic led to a decline in demand for scooters as people stayed at home and avoided non-essential travel.
However, as the pandemic continued and lockdowns were gradually lifted, the demand for scooters started to recover. Scooters emerged as a popular mode of transportation as people sought to avoid crowded public transport and looked for more affordable and convenient ways to commute. This trend was particularly pronounced in urban areas, where scooters offer a cost-effective and efficient alternative to cars.
Furthermore, the pandemic has accelerated the shift towards eco-friendly transportation options, which has been a major driver of growth in the scooter market. The increasing awareness of the harmful effects of pollution on the environment has led to a growing demand for electric scooters, which are seen as a more sustainable mode of transportation.
In response to the pandemic, many scooter manufacturers have implemented measures to ensure the safety of their employees and customers. This includes the adoption of remote working arrangements, social distancing protocols, and enhanced hygiene measures.
