The market for all-terrain vehicles witnessed negative growth during the first half of 2020 owing to the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The global lockdown and restrictions led to the temporary closure of various assembly and manufacturing units. However, the increasing demand for recreational activities across the globe is likely to contribute to market growth.

An all-terrain vehicle is also known as a light utility vehicle. It is a motorized off-road vehicle designed to travel on four wheels with low-pressure or non-pneumatic tires and a handlebar for steering control. ATVs are divided into two categories: type I and type II. The type I category is intended for use by a single rider with no passengers and the type II category is intended for use by a rider and a passenger. Type II ATVs are equipped with a designated seating position behind the rider.

ATVs are best known for their maneuverability in off-road and rough terrain capabilities. The design of the vehicle ensures better protection from harsh operating environments compared to conventional vehicles. They have wide applications in forestry, sports, military, agriculture, and defense. Over the past few years, ATVs have gained popularity owing to their ease of use in remote areas and their ability to offer a convenient way to carry supplies and equipment. These vehicles are often used in off-road surroundings, although in recent years, several regions have allowed them to be driven on public roads as well.

The demand for ATVs has witnessed a rise in the agricultural sector for various farm-related activities, such as weed control, fence mending, field plowing, general transportation, and animal handling. They are also used in applications such as manufacturing, construction, utilities, mining, and search & rescue. Several key companies are organizing adventure sports & off-road racing events and offering sponsorships to acquire new customers and increase product visibility.

The demand for gasoline ATVs has increased significantly owing to their wide uses in sports and military applications. Heavy-duty ATVs are primarily equipped with diesel engines for material handling and powerful towing applications. Electric ATVs are gaining popularity in Europe and North America as an alternative to ATVs operating on diesel and gasoline. Fluctuating prices and environmental concerns about gasoline and diesel are some factors that are projected to drive the demand for electric vehicles across the globe. The introduction of powerful electric motors enables electric all-terrain vehicles to offer a performance advantage over the diesel and gasoline variants.
