EXCHANGE RATE ANALYSIS
Regarding the exchange rate analysis for 2024, it is challenging to make accurate predictions due to the complex factors influencing exchange rates, including global political and economic situations, Sino-US trade relations, monetary policies, and economic growth of both countries. However, based on the data from 2023, we can anticipate the following points: Global Economic Conditions: If the global economy continues to recover, especially if the US economy remains strong, the USD might maintain its strength, leading to an increase in the RMB to USD exchange rate. Trade Policies and Relations: Trade policies and relations between China and the US will continue to significantly impact the exchange rate. Improved trade relations between the two countries might support the stability of the RMB exchange rate. Monetary Policy: Differences in monetary policies between China and the US will also affect the exchange rate. For example, if the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates while the People's Bank of China maintains a relatively loose monetary policy, this could lead to a depreciation of the RMB against the USD. Economic Data: Economic data from both countries, such as GDP growth rates, inflation rates, employment data, etc., will influence the exchange rate.
GLOBAL ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT The off-road motorcycle market has been on a steady rise and is expected to continue growing. In 2021, the global market size was valued at USD 14.34 billion and is estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% from 2022 to 2028. This growth is driven by the popularity of racing and sports events focused on off-road motorcycles and an increase in sponsorships from big brands. The enduro motorcycles segment dominated the market and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2022 to 2028. The Asia Pacific region accounted for a significant market share, with India and China being major contributors to revenue in 2020. Europe, too, is expected to register a fast CAGR of 5.9% from 2022 to 2028, with Germany, Italy, and France being the largest offroad motorcycle markets in the region. For the electric off-road motorcycle segment, the market size surpassed USD 100 million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a 12% CAGR from 2023 to 2032. This growth is attributed to increased spending by OEMs towards new product innovations. Looking at the trends, advancements in technology are a key driver of growth. Manufacturers are focusing on launching new vehicles with enhanced features at competitive prices to attract sports enthusiasts. Innovations in battery exchange systems, improved suspension, and performance optimization for off-road conditions are some of the advancements propelling the market. The market for off-road motorcycles is also influenced by government legislation and the defense sector, with several governments looking into the use of electric motorcycles for defense purposes due to their stealth capabilities. Furthermore, off-roading apps are encouraging the use of off-road motorcycles by easing route planning, providing safety features, and fostering community among riders For the first quarter of 2024, while specific figures are not provided, the trends suggest that the market will continue to grow, leveraging technological advancements, increased interest in offroad racing, and the general push towards electric vehicles.
