Research analysis on the global all-wheel drive (AWD) motorcycles market identifies that the need for AWD motorcycles for special operations will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market.  Technavio's market research analysts predict that in terms of units, this market will grow at a CAGR of nearly 21% by 2021. In defense, most of the vehicles used are all-terrain vehicles. The requirement for fast, agile, and efficient transportation for scouts, war fighters, security patrols, and guards in the field has raised the demand for the defense purpose off-road motorcycles. A change in the trend has been observed in the market with the fully electric and hybrid off-road motorcycles gaining wide popularity. These motorcycles are specifically manufactured for defense purposes and are increasing the requirement of the AWD motorcycles for special purposes. This rising need for the AWD motorcycles for the special operations would be one of the factors for propelling the AWD motorcycle market during the forecast period.

The emergence of AWD snow bikes will be the one of the key trends that will gain traction in the all-wheel drive motorcycles market. Developments in the off-road motorcycles have given rise to the introduction of snow bikes. The AWD snow bikes are manufactured by not only altering the transmission system but also by modifying the wheel design to offer the needed floatation to them. The presence of an efficient wheel design to ride on the snow has led to the fitment of the rear wheel drive system. But the growing demand for higher efficiency in snow bikes has forced the manufacturers to manufacture AWD snow bikes.
