  • By Vehicle Type: The report provides the segmentation of off road vehicle based on the vehicle type: Side-by-Side, ATVs, Snowmobiles, and Others. During the forecast period, the side by side vehicle segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR. A side-by-side vehicle is an off-road vehicle having at least two seats that are placed next to one another and are protected by a roll cage. They have a minimum of four wheels and are operated by foot controls and a steering wheel.

This makes it an appealing choice for families and others who regard safety highly. Overall side-by-sides would benefit the off-road vehicle market, since they offers additional utility, capacity, towing, and hauling capabilities.
  • By Displacement: The off road vehicle market is further bifurcated based on the displacement: Less than 400 (cc), 400 to 800 (cc), and more than 800 (cc). Less than 400 (cc) dominated the market in 2022. Engines in this category are often less expensive, making it more accessible for consumers than bigger off-road vehicles. Off-roaders who wish to spend more time on the trails can reduce operating expenses by using vehicles with less than 400 (cc) of displacement. A smaller engine typically produces less emissions than a larger vehicle, which would make a less than 400 (cc) off road vehicle more environmental friendly than larger off road vehicles. Thus, this segment plays a crucial role in boosting the off-road vehicle market.

Market Dynamics:

  • Growth Drivers: One of the most important factors impacting the global off road vehicle market is the increasing adoption of off-road vehicles in military and agriculture operations. Off-road trucks are used in military operations to move supplies such as cargo, gasoline, and ammunition. These trucks are also used to convey heavily laden weaponry during wartime. Off-road utility vehicles are employed in agricultural activities including irrigation, rock-picking, crop planning, and scouting. These machines carry out farm labour effectively, reducing the manpower expenses involved. Furthermore, the use of cutting-edge technology on these trucks, such GPS for drawing field borders and marking field lines, helps to save time during planting by reducing soil compaction. Thus, increased usage of off-road vehicles in agriculture and military operations is expected to boost the growth of off-road vehicles market in the coming years. Furthermore, the market has been growing over the past few years, due to factors such as rapid urbanization, rising disposable income, increasing off-roading sports events, rising investment in R&D and new product development, increasing outdoor adventure park and government initiatives and growth in the powersports industry.
  • Challenges: However, the market has been confronted with some challenges specifically, high cost of off-road vehicles, environmental impact of off-roading activities, safety concerns related to off-road vehicles, etc. Off-road vehicles are designed to tackle tough terrain and withstand harsh conditions, as a result, they typically have higher maintenance costs than regular passenger vehicles. High maintenance cost act as a barrier for off-road vehicle market growth because of the higher initial cost of vehicle along with the high maintenance costs is likely to have a substitutions effect. The high maintenance cost also makes vehicles less affordable for consumers, and it creates negative perceptions of the brand. This lead to reduced customer loyalty, negative word-of-mouth, and slower market growth.
  • Trends: The market is projected to grow at a fast pace during the forecasted period, due to various latest trends such as rise in penetration of AWD and 4WD vehicles, the expansion of dealer networks and increasing trend of electric UTVs and ATVs. The rise in penetration of all-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles is a trend that has been driving the off-road vehicle market in recent years. AWD and 4WD vehicles are designed to provide better traction and control in off-road conditions, making them ideal for outdoor recreation and exploration. AWD and 4WD systems distribute power to all four wheels of a vehicle, rather than just two, which provides better grip on slippery or uneven terrain. This makes AWD and 4WD vehicles particularly well-suited for off-road driving, as they can handle mud, sand, snow, and other challenging conditions with greater ease and safety.
