Global All Terrain Vehicles Market: Overview

All terrain vehicles (ATVs) are also known as quad bikes or light utility vehicles (LUVs). As defined by the American National Standard of Institute, they are vehicles that run on low pressures and consist of seats that are straddled by the rider along with handlebars that help the person operating the vehicle control the steering wheel. ATVs are designed in a way that allows the vehicle to be driven on different types of terrain unlike most of the other vehicles that are designed for specific types of landscape.

ATVs have been assigned the status of street-legal vehicles which means that they can be driven on public streets with proper documentation but in many countries, LUVs do not share the same status and are designed only for recreational purposes or to be used in certain segments. ATVs are operated like normal bikes, where the person riding the vehicle is responsible for managing the direction and other controls, however, these bikes offer higher stability and safety because they generally have more than 2 wheels which makes it easier to balance the quad bike even when running on low speed.

Global All Terrain Vehicles Market: Growth Drivers

The global all terrain vehicles market is projected to grow owing to the increasing applications and demand for ATVs in military operations. A well-equipped and resourced defense sector is important for the safety and growth of any economy as it not only provides protection to civilians but also helps the nation mark itself as a powerful nation on the world map.

In today’s world where political unrest is at its peak, every government is amping up the efforts and investments in strengthening the military segment which is influencing the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. Military-grade all terrain vehicles are in high demand as it allows military personnel to access even the toughest of terrains making their tasks easier. In 2019 the Australian government spent more than USD 26 billion on defense while Germany allocated 42 billion to its military sector in 2017. The growing numbers are expected to drive the demand for LUVs in the coming years.

Restraints:

High associated regulations to restrict market expansion

The global market for ATVs is highly regulated with some nations acknowledging the vehicle as street legal whereas some countries do not permit the use of quad bikes on the street. For instance, the regulations related to the use of ATVs are not restrictive and are regarded as one of the most complex ones. This creates major problems for market players if they wish to venture into new territory as regulations may be different in different parts. 

Opportunities:

Positive response on electric ATVs to provide growth opportunities

Since the world is moving towards sustainable growth, manufacturers have started investing in non-fuel-run vehicles that can run on renewable sources of energy. One such kind is the electric vehicle (EV) segment which can be seen in the conventional automobile sector. However, the adoption of EV versions for quad bikes is relatively low and niche, but in the longer run, the segment may generate more interest in the market and attract more consumers. They are currently also high priced and require a high capital for the purchase.

Challenges:

High cost and trade barriers to restrict market expansion

Since all terrain vehicles are specially made and currently the largest consumption is for recreational and military purposes, high-grade quad bikes are really expensive and mass purchase is not possible for a large segment of the population. For instance, a Military Green ATV Motorcycle with a 500 cubic capacity (CC) engineer may cost USD 6000. Although there are variants, the cost is generally high. Trade norms associated with the purchase and sale of ATVs are highly complex which adds to the loss of consumer groups.
