Although the profitability quotient of the North America youth ATV and UTV market appears highly promising, there are a few factors that might prove detrimental to the rapid product penetration in the years ahead. Rising number of accidents that are predominantly attributed to the ignorance of appropriate safety gear along with rash driving by youth could cast an adverse impact on the overall market share. According to an annual report published by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), a total of 337 ATV-related fatalities were recorded across the nation in 2016. However, regulatory authorities including CPSC and other government bodies in various states of the U.S. and Canada are conducting various static and dynamic ATV-testing procedures to drastically improve the handling characteristics and identify methods to enhance the performance of these vehicles.
Owing to the launch of high-quality ATVs along with encouraging initiatives being rolled out by various governments across the continent, the North America youth ATV and UTV market is slated to register a commendable CAGR of more than 6.5 percent over the timespan of 2018 to 2024.

The utilization of ATVs for recreational and tourist activities has majorly outlined the off-road vehicles industry dynamics, garnering support from governments and the general public alike. Rising economic status of the working class population and the advent of successful entrepreneurs have created an emerging customer base for recreational events and the off-road vehicles market.

Reportedly, the state government there has already spent millions of dollars for ATV trail development, though the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest was yet to have ATV access, indicating a positive step towards growth of the off-road vehicles market in the region. The Wisconsin ATV-UTV Association had disclosed numbers showing that at the start of 2015, there were around 92,654 ATVS and 8,789 UTVs registered in the state. The region has been experiencing increased popularity of recreational family trips and tourist attraction, even during the winter season, which in many parts of the world represents tremendous earning potential for the off-road vehicles market, from the demand of snowmobiles.
The Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, U.S., is an example of a such national park where the use of over-snow vehicles has been propagated for decades and consistent improvement in the vehicles has helped to overcome several issues regarding noise and pollution. Snowmobiles not only offer a convenient way for visitors to enjoy the park in winter conditions, but also allow the park personnel to do their challenging jobs and maintain the park utilities. In many places along the northern region of the earth, parks and forest trails where ATVs are used during rest of the year can still provide recreational activities in winter using snowmobiles. As such, the off-road vehicles market for recreational purposes can benefit from vast application scope in most of the northern countries.
According to statistics, about 46 million square kilometers of Earth’s surface is covered with snow every year, with 98% of the planet’s snow cover situated in the Northern Hemisphere. The Europe and North America has therefore, significantly contributed to the development and adoption of snowmobiles for short distance travelling, remote area goods transportation and for enabling recreational uses of lakes, parks and specially built trails. The sale of snowmobiles in the U.S., records indicate, had almost 58,300 units in 2015, which was a 20% rise over a two year period and demonstrated the existing prospects for the off-road vehicles industry.
Canada-based Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) had also informed in 2017 that the company had profited from a robust demand for its recreational vehicles, with revenues from its season products, including snowmobiles, climbing 37.2% for the quarter ending January 31. BRP, operating in 100 plus countries, has proven that huge opportunities exist for recreational snowmobiles in the North America off-road vehicles market. Concerns regarding emissions and fuel efficiency have inspired many innovations in the manufacturing of ORVs. For instance, Taiga Motors in Montreal are developing an all-electric snowmobile that would help to counter stringent regulations at many national parks and forest in Europe and North America arising from environmental issues.
Owing to such efforts aimed at providing enhanced recreational vehicles and the escalated requirement for ATVs and snowmobiles across the Northern region, the recreation segment is estimated to hold approx. 25% of the off-road vehicles market share till 2024. Polaris Industries Inc., Wildcat, Bombardier Recreational Products, Caterpillar, Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., KTM and Kawasaki Motors Corp, are major players spearheading the global off-road vehicles market share.
