The segment of motor vehicles is the only one in the automotive market of Ukraine in 2022, where sales of new vehicles make up the absolute majority. According to the results of the year, more than 61% of them were purchased. The experts of the Institute of Car Market Research determined in which regions motorcycles and mopeds are most often bought, as well as the top 25 brands in the domestic market, among "freshly driven" and new vehicles of this category.
Dynamics of the motorcycle market
In December, Ukrainians bought 1,483 units of new and used motor vehicles. This is -53.4% less than December 2021 and -37.9% less than November 2022.
In total, during 2022, Ukrainians purchased 47,500 motorcycles and mopeds. This is -26.2% less than in 2021.
Of the total number, 94.3% (60.8 thousand) were motorcycles, and 5.7% (3.7 thousand) were mopeds.
The majority of motor vehicles ( 61.6%, 39.7 thousand) were purchased new in 2022. Thus, this segment has become the only one where the absolute majority is sales of new vehicles.
On the domestic market, Ukrainians bought 26.6% of the total number of motorcycles and mopeds (17.2 thousand), and used 11.7% (7.6 thousand) units of motorcycle equipment were brought from abroad.
