DATAPOINT: NA ATV 2023 Production
Download PDFATV is a short term for All Terrain Vehicle. It commonly has 4 wheels and is designed to be driven off road. It seats one person, or sometimes two, one in front of the other.
This information comes from industry interviews and from two proprietary databases maintained by Power Systems Research: EnginLink™ , which provides information on engines, and OE Link™, a database of equipment manufacturers.
Market Share: With 28% of total units produced, Polaris leads in the production of 4-wheeled ATVs in North America. In second position and third position are Honda and Yamaha Motor with 22% and 18.5%, respectively.
Export: Mexico exports up to 45% of its production worldwide. The United States exports up to 30% of its production worldwide. Approximately 60% of Suzuki’s production in Rome, GA, remain in the US, while the rest are sold internationally.
Trends: In 2022, production of ATVs in North America decreased nearly 5% from 2021. However, production is expected to rebound 5% in 2023. The 2022 decrease was partially COVID-19 related. Other factors included overstock, the uncertain economic outlook, and the growing popularity of side x side units (utility vehicles).
Manufacturers have discontinued less popular models/variants and are concentrating on bestselling units. ATVs are used in many activities that meet recreation, sport and military needs.
Investor relations representatives from Yamaha, Polaris Industries and Arctic Cat forecast increased sales, based on rising consumer discretionary spending and favorable gas prices. Production is expected to increase, considering current economic factors along with the introduction of innovative products and technologies. Look for additional production up to 10% by 2025. PSR

DATAPOINT: NA Dumpers/Tenders, 2023 Production
Download PDFA Dumper/Tender is a vehicle designed for carrying bulk material, often on building sites. Dumpers are distinguished from dump trucks by configuration: a dumper is usually an open 4-wheeled vehicle with the load skip in front of the driver, while a dump truck has its cab in front of the load.
This information comes from industry interviews and from two proprietary databases maintained by Power Systems Research: EnginLink™ , which provides information on engines, and OE Link™, a database of equipment manufacturers.
Market Share: With 66% of total units produced, Country Home Products leads in production of Dumpers/Tenders in North America. In second position is Allen Engineering with 18%; third, is Indy Equipment with 10%.
Electric (Battery) Data: Manufacturers continue to develop battery-powered equipment to replace units powered by diesel and gasoline powered internal combustion engines.
2021: 103 battery-powered units
2022: 108 battery-powered units
2023: 132 battery-powered units
From 2021-2023 production of Electric (Battery) powered units gained nearly 5%.
In 2023, production is expected to gain 22%.
Trends: In 2022, production of Dumpers/Tenders in NA increased 9% over production volume in 2021. Expect production to increase 7% in 2023 from that of 2022. The increase is attributed to gains in the global economy along with the demand for new products for construction and mining related activities.
The decline in 2020 was attributed to product saturation in the market and somewhat related to COVID-19 shutdowns, despite the fact that consumers/contractors were still purchasing products.
To date, many manufacturers are having longer production lead times due to lack of parts from suppliers and staffing shortages. Dumper/Tenders, commonly referred to as a Power Buggy, are sought after pieces of equipment because they are much faster than a conventional wheelbarrow and their use accelerates job site related activities. Expect production to increase an additional 5% by 2025.PSR
