세계의 오토바이용 스윙 암 시장 예측(-2032년) : 유형별, 재료별, 오토바이 유형별, 유통 채널별, 용도별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Motorcycle Swing Arm Market is accounted for $1.70 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $2.68 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period. A motorcycle swing arm is a vital component of a motorcycle's rear suspension system that connects the rear wheel to the frame, allowing controlled vertical movement. It helps absorb shocks from uneven roads, maintaining stability, balance, and rider comfort. Made primarily of steel or aluminum, it functions together with the rear shock absorber to maintain correct wheel alignment, improve handling, and enhance safety. Its design and strength significantly influence ride quality and overall motorcycle performance.

According to the United Nations Conference on Trade & Development (UNCTAD) statistical handbook, the proportion of the world's urban population increased from 51.6% in 2010 to 56.2% in 2020.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand for premium & sports bikes

Consumers increasingly seek high-performance bikes that offer superior handling, stability, and riding comfort. Manufacturers are focusing on improved chassis and suspension architectures to enhance cornering performance and high-speed control. Swing arms play a critical role in weight distribution and rear-wheel alignment, making them essential for performance-oriented motorcycles. Rising disposable incomes and aspirational buying trends, especially among younger riders, are supporting this shift. Motorsport influence and brand-led performance positioning are further accelerating adoption of advanced swing arm designs. As a result, OEMs are integrating technologically refined swing arms across mid- to high-end motorcycle segments.

Restraint:

High development costs for advanced designs

Precision manufacturing requirements and the use of high-grade materials increase overall production costs. Advanced designs must meet stringent safety, durability, and performance standards, adding to development timelines. Small- and mid-sized manufacturers often face budgetary constraints that limit innovation capabilities. Extensive prototyping and real-world testing further raise capital expenditure. Integration with modern suspension and braking systems also increases design complexity. These cost pressures can restrict widespread adoption of advanced swing arms, particularly in cost-sensitive markets.

Opportunity:

Adoption of lightweight materials

Materials such as aluminum alloys, carbon fiber, and advanced composites help reduce overall vehicle weight. Lighter swing arms improve acceleration, fuel efficiency, and ride responsiveness. OEMs are leveraging material innovations to balance strength, rigidity, and reduced mass. Advances in casting, forging, and welding technologies are making lightweight designs more commercially viable. Regulatory emphasis on fuel efficiency and emission reduction further supports material optimization. This trend is opening new avenues for performance enhancement and product differentiation among manufacturers.

Threat:

Rise of micro-mobility alternatives

Electric scooters, e-bikes, and shared mobility platforms are gaining popularity in urban environments. These alternatives are often perceived as more cost-effective and convenient for short-distance commuting. Government support for low-emission urban transport is accelerating this shift. Reduced reliance on traditional motorcycles can impact overall two-wheeler production volumes. Younger consumers, in particular, are showing preference for flexible mobility options over ownership. This transition may limit long-term demand growth for motorcycle components such as swing arms.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic temporarily disrupted the motorcycle swing arm market due to manufacturing shutdowns and supply chain interruptions. Restrictions on movement led to reduced motorcycle sales during the initial phases of the outbreak. OEMs faced challenges in sourcing raw materials and maintaining production schedules. However, the recovery phase saw renewed interest in personal mobility as consumers avoided public transport. Two-wheelers gained traction as a safer commuting option in densely populated regions. Digital sales channels and online customization tools gained importance during this period. Post-pandemic strategies now focus on supply chain resilience and flexible manufacturing models.

The double-side swing arm segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The double-side swing arm segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, due to these designs offers enhanced structural rigidity and balanced load distribution during acceleration and braking. Double-side swing arms are widely used across commuter, touring, and performance motorcycles. Their compatibility with a broad range of suspension systems supports widespread adoption. Manufacturers prefer this configuration due to ease of manufacturing and cost efficiency. The design also allows better durability under varied riding conditions.

The online retail segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the online retail segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, due to increasing digitalization in automotive aftermarket sales is reshaping purchasing behavior. Consumers are turning to e-commerce platforms for easy access to genuine and aftermarket swing arm components. Online channels provide product comparisons, technical specifications, and competitive pricing advantages. Improved logistics and doorstep delivery are enhancing customer convenience. Manufacturers and distributors are strengthening direct-to-consumer strategies through digital platforms.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share, due to the region hosts major motorcycle manufacturing hubs such as India, China, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries. High two-wheeler penetration and strong commuter bike demand support sustained component consumption. Rapid urbanization and population growth continue to drive motorcycle ownership. Local OEMs benefit from cost-efficient manufacturing and well-established supplier networks. Government initiatives supporting domestic vehicle production further strengthen market growth.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, owing to rising interest in premium, cruiser, and sports motorcycles is fueling component demand. Consumers in the region prioritize performance upgrades and customization. Technological innovation and adoption of lightweight materials are advancing swing arm designs. A strong aftermarket ecosystem supports replacement and performance-enhancement sales. Increasing popularity of recreational and touring motorcycles further boosts demand.
