The increasing demand for two-wheeled vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the motorcycle helmet market in the coming years. Two-wheeled vehicles include motorized automobiles such as scooters, motorcycles, and mopeds that operate on two wheels with an integrated engine and motor system. Wearing a motorcycle helmet significantly reduces the risk of fatal injuries and severe brain trauma, as helmets absorb and dissipate impact energy during accidents more effectively than the rider’s head alone. For example, in February 2023, according to MotorCycles Data, a UK-based motorcycle sales data reporting company, Honda Motor Co. Ltd., a Japan-based manufacturer of automobiles, motorcycles, and two-wheelers, recorded global sales of 17.6 million units, representing a 4.9% increase compared to the previous year and capturing a 29.4% global market share. Therefore, the rising demand for two-wheeled vehicles is supporting the growth of the motorcycle helmet market.

Major companies operating in the motorcycle helmet market are emphasizing technological and design innovations, such as advanced homologation-certified helmets, to improve rider safety and comfort. Homologation-certified helmets comply with stringent safety standards and incorporate features that enhance protection, usability, and overall riding experience. For instance, in May 2023, Caberg S.p.a., an Italy-based motorcycle helmet manufacturer, introduced the Caberg Riviera V4 X, a jet-style helmet suitable for both urban and extra-urban riding. The helmet features ECE 22.06 certification, a dual-visor system with a clear anti-scratch outer visor and an integrated sun visor, along with optimized ventilation and airflow to reduce wind resistance and improve comfort at higher speeds. The Caberg Riviera V4 X enhances rider safety and convenience while allowing the installation of the Caberg Pro Speak Evo communication system without affecting certification compliance.
