Proliferating penetration of sports and recreational activities coupled with the increasing disposable income will drive the North America youth ATV & UTV market over the study timeframe. Increasing off-road trails and parks along with the availability of affordable youth ATVs and UTVs will further augment the industry growth.

Industry players are investing in R&D to introduce innovative features in their portfolio to differentiate from the competition.
