Motorcycle Market, July is the best month with 27.629 registrations

Motorcycle Market – July was the best result of the year for the two-wheel market in Italy. According to data from Ancma, the national association of motorcycles and accessories of Confindustria, registrations were 27.629, 19,2% more than in July 2014. In the first seven months of 2015, registrations thus rose to 139.944, with a increase of 5,4% compared to the same period of the current year.

In July, the most important remained the scooter sector which produced 16.699 pieces (+26,3%), leaving behind the motorcycle sector with 7.401 (+23%). However, the declining trend continues for the fifty-year-olds, who with 3.529 registrations show a -10,7%. "The two-wheeler sector continues to consolidate and benefits from the progress of the Italian economy which is finally seeing a recovery in domestic demand as well as exports.” commented the president of Ancma, Corrado Capelli. "We are seeing a recovery in production and investments, with greater availability of credit and low interest rates. Returning to pre-crisis volumes will be a long and not easy process, however this year's trend presents itself as a real reversal of trend, to help the recovery it is essential to intervene to reduce the tax burden and specifically improve conditions of use, through investments in infrastructure dedicated to increasing the safety of those who use two wheels. "

in short, Ancma will continue to put pressure on insurance companies to offer rates more in line with the rest of Europe and at the same time he will insist on completing the changes to the Highway Code which provide for the use of preferential lanes and the entry of the 125 onto the motorway. “The market still has room to grow, given that over 50% of the fleet in circulation is more than 10 years old. Meanwhile, participation in the 2015 Eicma edition is at record levels and suggests the presentation of a series of important innovations, which will certainly arouse the interest of all enthusiasts. " he concluded Corrado Capelli.
