2020 Q3 Powersports Market Report

By Specialty Division

Industry Overview

Powersports Market Update

Values in 2020 continue to crush the previous two years. Interest in all segments of the powersports industry is hot, as new enthusiasts enter the market and existing riders look for new bikes and side-by-sides.

In the motorcycle segment, cruiser values increased steeply once warmer months hit, and are now running 5.2% ahead of last year. Sportbikes also saw a healthy rebound in the summer months, currently bringing 8.3% more year-over-year.

Side-by-sides were strong in the most recent period, with the utility segment valued a whopping 16.2% higher than the same period of 2019, and the sport segment higher by an impressive 10.5%.

The powersport industry continues to benefit from customers shifting their discretionary income from vacations to other forms of entertainment. Getting out on the trails and roads solo or with a few other folks will continue to be a low-risk, high-fun adventure.
