ANCMA (National Association of Cycle, Motorcycle Accessories) has announced the trend of the motorcycle and scooter market for the month of March, which sees an overall decline of 2.9% compared to the same month last year. In particular, scooters suffered the most (-18.3%), while the positive trend of motorcycles continued (+ 16.1%). Important data for mopeds which closed the month at + 8.1%.
As mentioned, it is the scooter segment that slows down the sector, which falls by 2.96%. However, it must be remembered that in the same month of 2021 a large order for vehicles was made by Poste Italiane, which obviously was not repeated this year. Motorcycles very well, with 14,488 vehicles registered, equal to + 16.13%, a figure that further consolidates their growth. Same goes for mopeds that return with the plus sign, with 1,642 vehicles sold, which corresponds to a convincing + 8.1%.
