The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) has released sales data for the first three quarters of 2025, with scooters showing the strongest growth.
*Does not include non-FCAI affiliated motorcycle brands including: Royal Enfield, Benelli, MV Agusta, Segway, CFMOTO, Kymco, and Sherco.
A total of 3,638 scooters have been sold so far this year, representing a 4.6 per cent increase over the same period in 2024. The segment now accounts for 5.7 per cent of Australia’s motorcycle market.
The increase in scooter sales follows a sharp 22.5 per cent decline in 2024, signalling a positive turnaround for the category.
“Scooters are clearly gaining popularity among urban riders,” said FCAI Chief Executive Tony Weber. “They provide a practical and economical transport option for short trips, commuting, and navigating city traffic.”
Overall motorcycle sales are down 2.2 per cent, with off-highway vehicles, off-road bikes, and road bikes all recording slight declines compared with last year.
As in previous years, sales from Royal Enfield and CFMOTO are not included in the FCAI data, as the brands are not affiliated with the organisation.
Among FCAI-member manufacturers, Yamaha continues to lead sales, followed by Honda, Kawasaki, and KTM.
