Market Analysis of Bikes in Bangladesh Throughout The Years

The number of registered motorcycles in Dhaka, Bangladesh has more than doubled from 2010 to 2018, increasing from 210,000 to 495,000 over that period. This growth is largely attributed to the introduction of ride-sharing services like Uber and Pathao in 2017, which led to 75,000 new registrations that year alone. The rise of ride-sharing has also increased bike sales and provided an income source for over 70,000 people engaged as drivers or passengers. However, some experts are concerned this rise in motorcycles could worsen traffic and road safety issues.

Market Analysis of Bikes in Bangladesh throughout the years-

The number of registered motorcycles is increasing every year in Dhaka. The number
skyrocketed in the last one year and a half after ride-sharing services were introduced.

According to statistics provided by the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA), the
number of registered motorcycles increased to 4,69,888 in April 2018 from 2,10,081 in 2010.

Around 75,251 motorcycles were registered with the BRTA in 2017, a year when different ride-
sharing companies, including Uber and Pathao introduced their bike services in the mega city.

Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) data show the number of registered motorcycles
has doubled over the last eight years in the capital.

The number of registered motorcycles in Dhaka stood at 495,000 in July 2018, while it was only
210,000 in 2010. The number has risen significantly since 2017 when ride-sharing services,
including Uber and Pathao, were introduced.

Sales of bikes shot up 44 percent year-on-year to 3.87 lakh units in 2017 from a year ago. This
was the highest sales of bikes in a year, said Das of ACI Motors, a concern of ACI Ltd.

About 132,000 motorcycles were registered between 2017 and July 2018 in Dhaka.

Commuters have opted for ride-sharing services as they are available, consume less time and are
affordable. They help people avoid the mad scrambles at bus terminals, or coaxing autorickshaw
or rickshaw drivers. They are also a source of income for many people.

At least 12 companies, offering ride-sharing services, have entered the market in the last two
years. It is estimated that over 70,000 people – including bikers and pillion riders - are engaged
with the services.

However, transport sector experts, urban planners, and road safety campaigners say they fear that
the rising number of motorcycles will create disorder on the streets and worsen traffic
management.

Ride-sharing service Pathao now has nearly 30,000 registered riders and its services are available
in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Gazipur and Narayanganj. On the other hand, OBHAI has more
than 20,000 registered riders in Dhaka and Chittagong, said Quazi Omar Ferdous, COO of
OBHAI.
