Winners of Dec 2022

Let’s see the winners of December 2022.

Honda is the top bike brand in Pakistan. Even with declined sales, it is still far better than all the others in the list. Even the combined sales of other bike brands are not close to Honda’s sales.

Sales Comparison of Bike Manufacturers (2021 Vs 2022)

Here is the graph that shows the sales of each bike manufacturer compared to others in 2021 Vs 2022.

As we can see, Honda is the clear winner here. Yes! The tallest building in the street belongs to Honda. The 2nd most successful bike manufacturer (in terms of units sold) was United Motorcycle with 165,794 annual sales in 2022. 3rd on the list is Road Prince with nearly 50K units sold. Many of you will be shocked to see that Suzuki beats Yamaha with over 2 times more sales. However, we can see that the sales of all the bike manufacturers (except Suzuki) have declined in 2022 compared to 2021.

Market Share of Bike Manufacturers (2021 Vs 2022)

The following graph shows the year-on-year market share of each bike manufacturer compared to others mentioned here.

This graph shows that Honda has grabbed more market share in 2022 compared to 2021 despite lower sales. Suzuki has also gained a little more market share compared to previous year. It is mainly due to the introduction of Suzuki GSX 125 in 2022. The market share of United and Road Prince has suffered the most this year as the bikes become expensive that impacted the purchasing decisions of locals.

Final Verdict

The year 2022 was not good for the automobile industry and its consumers. Several bike manufacturers increased the prices of their vehicles by 6 to 7 times within 1 year. Due to this, many people started buying motorcycles in used condition instead of new ones. It impacted the sales of many bike brands in the country. 

Let’s see what happens this year as there are some chances of price hikes in the coming months due to the worsening political and economic situation.
