Ducati has faced another year of declining global registrations in 2024, marking a continued slowdown in its sales performance. Following a dip in 2023, global registrations reached just over 54,000 units, reflecting a 4.6% decline compared to the previous year. This drop places Ducati’s performance back at 2015 levels, with the Scrambler family experiencing the sharpest decline in its lineup.

A Decade of Stagnation Amid a Growing Premium Market

Over the past ten years, Ducati’s global sales have remained relatively stable within the 50,000–60,000 range. However, while the overall premium motorcycle segment has grown significantly worldwide, with competitors like BMW, Triumph, Aprilia, and KTM expanding their sales, Ducati has struggled to keep pace. Among its direct competitors, only Harley-Davidson has also seen a decline.

Ducati first surpassed 40,000 sales in 2000 and had to wait until 2015 to cross the 50,000 mark, a milestone achieved due to the global launch of the Scrambler family. However, this expansion had only a temporary and marginal effect, as Ducati’s sales peaked at 60,256 units in 2022, the brand’s first and only year exceeding 60,000 units. Since then, sales have been declining, bringing Ducati back to mid-2010s levels.

Scrambler’s Decline Hits Ducati Hard

In 2024, Ducati’s global registrations fell to just over 54,000 units, with the Scrambler lineup seeing the most significant drop. Scrambler models accounted for only 11.9% of Ducati’s total sales, a stark contrast to the 21.4% share in 2015. This decline suggests that the initial appeal of the Scrambler family has faded, and Ducati has struggled to maintain strong demand for these models.

Regional Trends: Stability in the West, Decline in Asia

Sales in Europe and North America remained relatively stable in 2024, showing resilience in Ducati’s traditional strongholds. However, the brand experienced declines across all Asian markets, raising concerns about its ability to maintain a global presence and compete effectively in regions with high-growth potential.

Can Motocross Be Ducati’s Comeback Strategy?

Amid the slowdown, Ducati is reportedly beginning production of its new motocross lineup, marking a potential strategic shift. The introduction of motocross models could diversify Ducati’s offerings, attract new customers, and provide a fresh revenue stream. However, it remains uncertain whether this move will be enough to counteract the declining trend in its core markets.

What’s Next for Ducati?

To regain momentum, Ducati may need to:

  • Expand its model lineup beyond traditional segments to capture new customer bases.
  • Strengthen its presence in Asia, where it has been losing ground.
  • Revitalize the Scrambler lineup or introduce new lifestyle-oriented models.
  • Capitalize on motocross production by entering off-road markets with a compelling product range.

While Ducati remains an iconic brand in the premium motorcycle market, its recent struggles highlight the need for innovation and strategic adaptation. Whether the motocross expansion will be enough to turn things around remains to be seen.
