UK Salvaged Motorcycle Market Trends

The UK salvaged motorcycle market size was estimated at USD 38.0 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2025 to 2030. The growth of this market is primarily influenced by factors such as growing demand for valuable motorcycle spare parts, increasing awareness regarding the use of recycled automotive components, and rising inclination towards practices reducing environmental impact. Salvaged motorcycles are often bought for multiple spare parts, which can be derived at lower prices than original parts sold across the market.

The automotive industry in the region has been experiencing various trends, mainly driven by customer preferences, the growing impact of environmental awareness, and the wide range of products and services offered by businesses in the sector. Low cost is the primary factor driving the demand for salvaged motorcycles in the country. Refurbished and salvaged motorcycles are often available at comparatively lower costs. This includes luxury range bikes, cruisers, adventure bikes, off-road vehicles, and standard motorcycles.

The increasing cost of new motorcycle parts significantly influences the growth experienced by the market. Salvage market participants provide affordable alternatives, sustainable products, and quick solutions. Motorcycles dismantled after accidents, end-of-lifecycle regulation years, or other incidents give buyers many valuable parts. These include numerous parts such as frames, fittings, handle accessories, filters, exhaust systems, electrical parts, electronic parts, batteries, and others.

Type Insights

Based on type, the motorcycle parts segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 82.3% in 2024. Used and recovered spare parts are sold significantly lower than original spare parts. This leads to growing demand for salvaged motorcycle parts across numerous categories, including security systems, electrical parts, electronic parts, batteries, handle accessories, frames, fittings, carrier frames, and exhausts. Owners prefer changing particular parts and upgrading existing systems for motorcycle upkeep and maintenance. Products with a noteworthy market share include handlebars, grips, lighting horns, crash protection accessories, windshields, and foot pegs.

The motorcycle segment is expected to experience substantial growth over the forecast period. Salvaged motorcycles are primarily preferred over brand-new motorbikes for lower costs.
