(1888PressRelease) September 29, 2021 - In the last weeks of September, Russian motorcyclists usually close the motorcycle season. Motorcyclists organize motorcycle races along the central streets of cities and other thematic events aimed at popularizing motorcycle culture among road users. However, the traffic police in some regions warned motorcyclists about the September frosts and advised them to be more careful while driving.

On the eve of the closing of the 2021 motorcycle season, the AVTODOM Group of Companies has published the results of motorcycle sales of 8 months. As a reminder, the company's portfolio includes motorcycle brands BMW Motorrad, KTM, Ducati. The total revenue from the sale of motorcycles more than doubled compared to the same period last year and amounted to 2,075 billion rubles against 998 million rubles in the same period in 2020.

The sales volume of new motorcycles of the AVTODOM Group of Companies for 8 months increased 2 times compared to last year and amounted to 1340 copies against 659 units. The positive dynamics is also observed in the segment of used motorcycles. Their number increased by almost 50% from 178 units in 2020 to 265 in 2021. At the same time, the average cost of a new motorcycle sold by AVTODOM Group of Companies increased slightly by only 4%. It amounted to 1,36 million rubles, against 1,3 million rubles a year earlier. At the same time, the average price of a used motorcycle increased to 970 thousand rubles.

«The first half of 2021 was marked for us by the opening of three new KTM motorcycle dealerships: KTM AVTODOM Khimki, KTM AVTODOM in Kashirka and KTM AVTODOM in Krasnodar and Ducati motorcycle dealership in Krasnodar. This significantly increased sales and made the purchase and maintenance of a motorcycle easier and more affordable for residents of the capital and Krasnodar region. The development of online tools played an important role in increasing sales. We have improved the key indicators of sites, applying the latest solutions in UX design, to make them as convenient as possible for communication with customers. These factors, combined with improved customer service and improved performance indicators of new dealerships, allowed us to increase sales volumes and reach a qualitatively new level», – commented Oleg Vorontsov, Motorcycle Sales Director of the AVTODOM Group of Companies.

At the same time, external factors played a significant role in the dynamics of the market. The motorcycle market is showing rapid growth. Russians buy more motorcycles every year. This trend has been observed for several years, and the positive trend will continue in the market in 2021. Therefore, according to Avito Avto, at the beginning of the 2021-motorcycle season, in April of this year, residents of our country were interested in buying a new motorcycle 23% more intensively than in April 2020. In May, according to the analytical agency Avtostat, about 4 000 motorcycles were sold in 1 month in our country. This is 76% more than a year earlier. In the previous year, sales of new motorcycles grew by 25% compared to 2019.

The steady growth in sales of motor vehicles is due to a combination of factors. Urbanization has led many customers to look at the motorcycle as an alternative to their personal car. Motorcycles are suitable for those who value their time and cannot afford to waste it in traffic jams. In addition, for those who do not want to sacrifice their personal space and use city transport. At the same time, a significant number of owners see the motorcycle as a means of self-expression. Price becomes a significant factor in favor of purchasing a new motorcycle. In the AVTODOM Group of Companies, it has practically not changed since 2020; the growth in the new moto segment was only 4%. The availability of flexible loan programs, combined with a low cost of ownership compared to a car, make the purchase of a motorcycle affordable for many residents of large cities.

«The development of urban infrastructure plays an important role in expanding the motorcycle market. I am sure the city is safer for motorcyclists today. This made it possible to reduce accidents, improve driving culture and change the attitude of motorists towards motorcycle owners. Finally, the availability of smart assistants and built-in motorcycle diagnosis systems has become a fundamental aspect of ensuring the safety of motorcyclists. They help to avoid spontaneous maneuvers while driving and alert the owner when it is time to undergo maintenance. The positive dynamics observed on the market today, and the interest shown by our customers in motor vehicles, suggests that we will see even more motorcyclists on our roads next season», – forecasts Oleg Vorontsov, Motorcycle Sales Director of the AVTODOM Group of Companies.
