Industry Overview

Powersports Market Update

While we did see poor weather in Q4 of 2015 which translated into fewer sales, we still saw an increase in sales over the same period last year. Lower gas prices, a stronger economy, and new models have contributed to a year that may have started slowly but ended on a high note with many consumers purchasing new vehicles and showing interest.

Snowmobile, utility side by side, and ATV values held stronger through this period versus on-highway because of their versatility. With strong overall side by side sales, most multiline dealers were in good shape even during the colder than average winter.
