Since 2015, with the further deepening of China’s economic reform, China’s motorcycle industry has continued to make adjustments. Cancellation and motorcycle export tax rebate following displacement motorcycle 250ml excise tax from 15% to 17% of these two good news, did not make the motorcycle industry production and sales return to growth. Since 2015, China’s motorcycle industry sales decline has been about 8%. Motorcycle industry production and sales decline is due to more in-depth industry and market changes caused by.

As the city limits of Mount ban, has been used as vehicles and motorcycle production tools sold in rural areas and small towns. Motorcycles in product design and development tend to low-cost, durable, cargo volume. In China’s rural road infrastructure is not perfect, low income level of farmers, the motorcycle is most consistent with the needs of farmers products. Driven by the demand of the vast rural market, motorcycle ushered in 20 years of rapid development.

Similarly, with the gradual improvement of rural roads, improve farmers’ living standards, the rapid development of China’s automobile industry, car prices continue to decrease.

From our point of view, China’s large population, regional economic development is uneven. Motorcycles In China there is still great potential for development, but future development is not reflected in motorcycle production and sales, but reflected in the product design, technology development and to foster consumer loyalty motorcycle. Traditional cheap motorcycle in economically underdeveloped regions still have a certain market, but the market space will be gradually reduced. This year, the industry changes in the market for a number of enterprises to make response, enhance the technological content of products and designs, and achieved good results.

However, China motorcycle lack of good social image and user image. When alternative products increase, in addition to the upgrading of the product itself, the product of social image and customer loyalty also determines the vitality of this product.

As the city ban limit friction, city residents can not choose a motorcycle as travel tools. Currently the city has seen more than some community youth motorcycle purchase poor quality, without a license, fake brand motorcycles, the motorcycle environmental protection, noise are not standard, the driver does not obey the traffic rules and seriously damage the motor car image. In fact, the appearance of fashion, standardized driving a motorcycle can become a useful supplement and a beautiful landscape of the city.
