India's two-wheeler market is shifting, with scooter sales growing over 10% in late 2025 while motorcycle sales plateau or decline. Historically favored for fuel efficiency and ruggedness, motorcycles are now seeing slower growth compared to scooters, which have experienced double-digit increases. Analysts attribute this change to increased urbanization favoring convenient gearless scooters, the rise of electric scooters boosting volumes, and the demand from quick commerce delivery services. The gender effect and changing consumer preferences are also noted as contributing factors.
