Top 10 best selling scooters Oct 2019 – Honda Activa market share 53%

Honda Activa sales record

With festivities at their peak, October turned out to be a good month for several scooter manufacturers. Five out of top 10 scooters have registered positive YoY growth, which is significant considering the on-going slowdown in the auto industry. Overall, 5,29,538 scooters were sold in October 2019, which translates into negative YoY growth of -6.39%. However, MoM sales growth is positive at 5.35%.

As expected, Honda Activa continues to be the undisputed leader in scooter segment. Activa sold 2,81,273 units in October, which translates into YoY growth of 7.25% and MoM growth of 12.99%. Activa is among the scooters that appear to have broken through the shackles of slowdown.

While festive season may have helped, launch of BS-VI variant of Activa has also contributed to increased sales in October. Activa is India’s first BS-VI scooter, something that may have played a critical role in the decision making process of several customers.
