According to the brand, demand remains healthy in regions such as Europe, South America, Southeast Asia, and Australia.

A major reason behind this growth is Royal Enfield's clear product strategy. The company has stayed close to its core identity, offering motorcycles that combine simple engineering with classic styling. Models such as the Hunter 350 and Super Meteor 650 continue to attract buyers looking for a rather simple riding experience with a distinctive design. At the same time, the updated Himalayan 450 has given the brand a more capable adventure line-up and widened its appeal among riders who want something more versatile.
Apart from Royal Enfield, Indian automotive brands like Mahindra, Tata Motors, and Maruti Suzuki were also on the list. Tata Motors took the fifth spot among the world's strongest automobile brands, while Maruti Suzuki was placed 34th, and Mahindra occupied the 25th spot.
