Polaris® is leading the ATV/UTV market

Polaris® is the clear leader in the ATV/UTV market, accounting for around 40 percent of the total market. Can-Am® also has impressive sales, while Honda® is ranked third in terms of market share. There are two kinds of riders within these figures: those who ride for pleasure or utility, and those who ride for sports or trail purposes.

Pleasure and Utility

Approximately seventy-four percent of the market consists of riders who use their machine for leisure, duties and taking care of their property. The accessories that are usually attached to the UTV include snow plows, trailers, winches, doors and roof sections.

Sport and Trail

Sport and trail riders journey through paths specially designed for riding, unpaved roads, and motocross circuits.
