Thus, the statistics below present the surplus between the value of each country’s exported motorcycles and its import purchases for that same commodity.
- mainland China: US$18 billion (net export surplus up 27.4% since 2024)
- India: $3.6 billion (up 17.4%)
- Japan: $2.9 billion (up 12.2%)
- Thailand: $2.5 billion (up 9.2%)

Mainland China earned the highest surplus in the international trade of motorcycles. In turn, this positive cashflow confirms strong Chinese competitive advantages for this specific product category.
Countries Facing Worst Trade Deficits for Motorcycles
The following countries posted the highest negative net exports for motorcycles during 2025. Investopedia defines net exports as the value of a country’s total exports minus the value of its total imports. Thus, the statistics below present the deficit between the value of each country’s imported motorcycle purchases and its exports for that same commodity.
- United States: -US$2.5 billion (net export deficit down -22.5% since 2024)
- Philippines: -$1.7 billion (up 14.1%)
- France: -$1.3 billion (down -11.5%)
- Spain: -$1 billion (up 34.9%)
- United Kingdom: -$934.8 million (up 3.4%)
- Argentina: -$793.5 million (up 79.4%)
- Australia: -$619.4 million (up 0.1%)

- United Arab Emirates: -$488.1 million (up 354.8%)
- Türkiye: -$445.8 million (down -53.6%)
The United States of America incurred the highest deficit in the international trade of motorcycles during 2025. In turn, this negative cashflow highlights America’s strong competitive disadvantages for this specific product category but also signals opportunities for motorcycle-supplying countries that help satisfy the powerful demand.
