Global Bicycle Market: Future Demand, Market Analysis & Outlook to 2028

The global bicycle market size was valued at USD 54.44 billion in 2020. It is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0% from 2021 to 2028.

The global Bicycle Market size is anticipated to reach USD 92.49 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 7.0% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing adoption of cycling as a form of leisure and awareness regarding the health benefits associated with cycling are the factors expected to bolster market growth. Bicycles are being preferred for short-distance commutes as they save considerable time as compared to other vehicles. Moreover, limited parking spaces and growing traffic congestions are prompting people to reconsider bicycles as a primary option for the commute.

Rising emphasis on the use of non-polluting vehicles for short-distance commutes by governments across the world is anticipated to positively influence market growth. The fact that bicycles do not emit any pollutants is projected to drive their demand in near future. Moreover, consumers are rapidly moving toward online distribution channels to buy a bicycle due to several key factors, including doorstep delivery and replacement and availability of a variety of products. Also, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers are mainly focused on avoiding crowded places to prevent themselves from virus infections.

The road bicycle is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period. These happen to be the most basic bicycles that consumers prefer owing to their ease of use. These cycles do not require any sophisticated equipment required by mountain and hybrid bicycles. This factor is anticipated to bode well for the growth in demand over the forecast period. Moreover, dockless bicycle-sharing systems are expected to gain attention in the coming years as they enable users to locate and electronically unlock a nearby bicycle for rent. Produced originally in Europe, these systems are gaining acceptance, especially in Asian countries, including India and China.
