Thailand Motorcycle Production Trends in November 2025
Thailand motorcycle production reached 199,640 units in November 2025, representing a 3.2 percent year-on-year increase. Production volumes were supported primarily by higher output of fully built units, while completely knocked down kits continued to play a significant role in the overall mix.
Key production highlights included:
For the January to November 2025 period, cumulative motorcycle production stood at 2,268,275 units, reflecting a 2.0 percent increase compared with the same period in 2024. This included 1,811,598 CBUs and 456,677 CKDs, indicating stable manufacturing momentum across formats.
Motorcycle Export Performance
Motorcycle exports from Thailand showed slight weakness in November. Total exports for the month declined marginally by 0.8 percent year-on-year to 80,554 units, pointing to softer demand in key overseas markets.
From January to November 2025, motorcycle exports totaled 815,356 units, marking a sharper 4.9 percent year-on-year decline. This trend suggests continued pressure from global demand uncertainty and inventory adjustments across international markets.
Domestic Motorcycle Sales Overview
