Countries like Australia have extensive farmland and agricultural spaces where ATVs are essential for farming and caring for livestock. Similarly, China is Asia Oceania's second-largest market, with some dominating players like CFMOTO (China), Chongqing Huansong (China), and Linhai (China). However, many ATVs that these key players in China manufacture are exported to Europe and other countries due to higher demand. According to International Trade Centre (ITC) data for 2023, China exports most ATVs to the US, Russia, and Mexico, where China also holds a total trade value of USD 2,127.9 million in 2023. On the other hand, the top leading player like CFMOTO (China) mentioned on their website that more than 70% of their ATVs are sold in 100 countries, whereas 60% of their vehicles are sold in Europe.
Also, many events are held in China to create new racing enthusiasts for ATVs, and the company holds events such as CFMOTO DAY every year. As the ATV market is gradually moving towards electrification, critical players in this region are focused on developing electric drivetrains, which has created new opportunities in the ATV market. Indian Startups like Powerland had raised USD 1.2 million funds in equity and debt finance in its pre-Series A round from the company named ILAFA Vertriebs GmbH (Germany) to increase the production and commercialization of the electric version of ATVs, mainly focusing on Powerland Tachyon 4x4. Moreover, these electric ATVs have gained a higher demand in European countries due to emission regulations.
The key players are also acquiring other companies to increase their presence in other countries. Hence, these investments, events, and increased export rates are driving the market for ATVs.
