Motorcycle helmets represent a specific category of protective helmets. To be sold as a "helmet for use on motorized two-wheelers" in France, a helmet must meet specific French and/or European specifications. For example, helmets sold for cycling, skiing or any other activity will not be approved for use on motorized two-wheelers.the motorcycle helmet market in France has been growing since 1973, when it was made compulsory for all motorized two-wheelers to wear a helmet.
The world market for motorcycle helmets is growing slowly. The French market, on the other hand, worth several hundred million euros by 2023, is relatively dynamic, and several growth drivers should enable it to expand over the next few years.
Firstly, the number of potential consumers should continue to grow as a result of women's growing interest in two-wheeled vehicles, and, more generally, the motorcycle helmet market can count on growth in the number of registrations.
It's also worth noting the importance of the high-end segment of the motorcycle helmet market, which accounts for a large share (by value) of the sector. The increase in market prices can also be seen in the overall renewal of the various ranges, in step with innovations (safety, practicality, design features).
Motorcycle helmets have structurally high renewal rates, since they normally need to be replaced every five years or so to guarantee their effectiveness. This feature contributes to the market's dynamism. Furthermore, figures from the French road safety authority ( Sécurité routiè;re) suggest that two-wheelers should be even more cautious than motorists, especially as head impacts account for the majority of accidents. Finally, as mentioned earlier, the legal framework in which the market operates is a determining factor in understanding the challenges facing the sector.
