Prices of motorcycles have come down to the extent of 30% after the introduction of motorcycles made from imported Chinese parts & components

Market is likely to expand further if this declining trend in prices continues

Per capita income in Pakistan since last 8 years is increasing steadily at annual rate of 14% (From 492 US$ in 2001-2002 to 1085 US$ 2008) which is enhancing purchasing power of common man hence more sale of motorcycles in Pakistan

Industry experts in Pakistan are forecasting the demand for new motorcycles in the coming few years to increase to the extent of 1.7 million
