Study Overview
A scooter is a motorized vehicle with two (or three) wheels: a scooter belongs to the category of mopeds with a cubic capacity of between 50cm3 and 125cm3. If the displacement exceeds 250cm3, the scooter becomes a maxi-scooter, requiring a special license. Three-wheeled scooters are developing in the 21st century, with displacements of over 125cm3. A final segment, representative of the latest trends in the global automotive market, is that of electric scooters: electric scooters feature a battery-powered electric motor, and have been launched in Asia, where their popularity is growing. The global scooter market is booming, with a CAGR of 6. 1% between 2023 and 2030. In France, 182,576 scooters were sold in 2022, slightly fewer than in 2021. The scooter market is dominated by a handful of leading foreign manufacturers, leaving little room for new entrants and French players such as Peugeot. Honda, Yamaha and BMW together account for almost 50% of market share. The main challenges for the scooter market remain the development of self-service scooter sharing, the emergence of low-pollution electric scooters and the ongoing development of used scooter offers.
