by New Boom on Motorhomes in Germany
The popularity of motorhomes in Germany has reached a new level. If previously it was a niche lifestyle, now it is a real trend. More than a million registered motorhomes mean that a million families are ready to give up hotels in favor of mobile living.
According to data from the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), the most popular base for conversion remains the Fiat Ducato from Stellantis – it accounts for 42.6% of the total number of motorhomes in the country.
European Leader
Germany undoubtedly leads the European market. In 2024, 96,392 new motorhomes and trailers were registered here, accounting for almost half of the total European figures. France and the United Kingdom are significantly behind.
Who Chooses Motorhomes?
Statistics show that the main audience of motorhome owners is elderly people. The largest group (32%) is people aged 60-69. Young people under 30 are practically not interested in this type of transport – their share is only 1.7%.
Regarding fuel, 97.4% of motorhomes run on diesel. Electric vehicles account for only 0.00015% of the total, indicating the conservatism of this market.
Interestingly, after the pandemic-related decline in 2022 (a drop of 17.6%), the market continues to grow steadily. In 2024, 74,718 new motorhomes were sold, which is almost three times more than in 2014. This indicates that the trend towards a mobile lifestyle continues to gain momentum, especially among the older generation.
