Year-on-Year Growth Performance

On a YoY basis, Honda posted balanced growth across markets.

Overall YoY growth: +45%
Domestic YoY growth: ~44.8%
Export YoY growth: ~44.6%

This kind of near-uniform growth suggests that Honda’s December performance was not driven by a single geography or segment alone. Instead, it reflects strong execution, improved supply alignment and consistent dealer throughput. times.motormitra.in

Such growth is especially significant considering the higher base of December 2024, making the 2025 performance structurally stronger rather than discount-led. Auto.MotorMitra

Month-on-Month Trend

Sequentially, December 2025 volumes were lower than November 2025, when Honda had dispatched over 5.9 lakh units.

This decline is typical for the Indian auto market. November benefits from festive buying and higher pre-year-end retail push, while December usually sees moderation as dealers focus on inventory rationalisation and customers delay purchases to avoid year-end registration. times.motormitra.in

The MoM dip does not indicate demand weakness. Instead, it reflects normal seasonal behaviour seen across most two-wheeler manufacturers every year. Auto.MotorMitra

Key Factors Behind Honda’s December 2025 Growth

Honda’s performance in December 2025 was driven by a combination of structural and short-term factors.

The scooter segment remained Company’s biggest strength. Scooters continue to dominate urban mobility, and Honda’s reliability, brand recall and resale value remain key buying triggers. motormitra.in Demand remained consistent among family buyers, first-time users and women riders.

In motorcycles, Company sustained volumes in the commuter and mid-capacity segments, where fuel efficiency, maintenance costs and brand trust still matter more than aggressive feature additions. times.motormitra.in

Rural and semi-urban markets showed visible improvement toward year-end. Better income sentiment, easier financing access and replacement demand played an important role in driving volumes. Auto.MotorMitra

Exports also contributed positively. India remains an important production base for Company’s global two-wheeler operations, and steady overseas shipments helped cushion domestic seasonality.

Industry Context – Two-Wheeler Market in December 2025

The broader Indian two-wheeler industry recorded positive YoY growth in December 2025, supported by improving macro conditions, stable fuel prices and better credit availability. motormitra.in

Scooters and commuter motorcycles continued to lead volumes, while premium motorcycles and electric two-wheelers expanded at a measured pace. Consumers remained value-conscious, preferring established brands with strong service networks.

In this context, Company’s 45 percent YoY growth stands out, especially given the intense competition from both legacy manufacturers and newer players. times.motormitra.in
