Trends in the Bicycle Market

Increase in the Sales of Road and Mountain Bicycles

The bicycle market is set to expand as many individuals turn to cycling as regular a method of exercise. The popularity of these vehicles is further increased by events like the Tour de France and the Ronde van Vlaanderen. These events provide many opportunities for the bicycle market.

Sales of road and mountain bicycles are being boosted by an increase in cycling competitions that are being held in numerous nations around Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Further, people are considering using bicycles to commute for short distances to save time, due to the increasing traffic congestion and lack of parking, especially in metropolitan areas.

Requirement of Infrastructure for Facilitating Bicycle

The infrastructure required to facilitate bicycle commuting is aggressively being built by many governments at the same time, which encourages the demand for bicycles. It is projected that the lack of the infrastructure required to support and promote bicycle commuting, particularly in developing nations like India, impedes the bicycle market's expansion. This is detrimental to the bicycle market growth, much as how expensive lightweight bicycles made of composite materials are.

Demand for both general and sports bicycles is anticipated to increase due to the growing benefits of bicycles in recreational and trekking activities, as well as an increase in cycling competitions. It is anticipated that rising media attention to such events and the increasing power of celebrity endorsement might further propel bicycle market expansion.

Tighter financial flows among the small-scale equipment distributor companies involved in this industry are the main source of these difficulties, impeding the bicycle market statistics.

Usage of vehicles is projected to increase as a result of the advent of numerous online bicycle booking platforms through web portals and mobile applications, such as Uber Bike, Yulu, and others, providing several opportunities in the bicycle market. Also, the bicycle market size is anticipated to increase as a result of additional reasons, like the rising rate of urbanization around the world and changing bicycle market trends.
