Analyst Opinion

The Bicycles Market in China has been seeing a slow growth rate due to factors such as increasing urbanization, rising health concerns, and the convenience of online shopping. However, the Regular and Electric sub-markets are still driving overall growth, with the latter gaining popularity due to its eco-friendliness.

Customer preferences:
As China's middle class continues to grow, there has been a noticeable shift in consumer preferences towards higher quality and more technologically advanced bicycles. This trend is driven by an increasing interest in health and fitness, as well as a desire for convenience and efficiency in transportation. As a result, there has been a rise in demand for e-bikes and smart bikes that offer features such as GPS tracking, mobile app connectivity, and electric assistance. Additionally, there has been a growing interest in cycling as a leisure activity, leading to a rise in demand for high-end, specialized bikes for mountain biking, road racing, and other niche markets.

Trends in the market:
In China, the Bicycles Market is experiencing a surge in demand for electric bicycles, as consumers seek more affordable, eco-friendly transportation options. This trend is driven by government initiatives promoting clean energy and transportation, as well as the growing popularity of e-commerce and food delivery services. Industry stakeholders are adapting to this shift by investing in research and development of new electric bike models, as well as expanding their online sales channels. This trend is expected to continue, with implications for the overall transportation industry and the environment.

Local special circumstances:
In China, the Bicycles Market is heavily influenced by the country's large population and high demand for transportation. With its vast land area and dense urban centers, bicycles are a popular mode of transportation for both short and long distances. Additionally, the government's promotion of eco-friendly transportation and the rise of bike-sharing programs have further bolstered the demand for bicycles in China. Furthermore, cultural factors such as the preference for two-wheeled vehicles and the popularity of cycling as a leisure activity have also played a significant role in shaping the Bicycles Market in China.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The Bicycles Market in China is heavily influenced by macroeconomic factors such as the country's economic growth, government policies, and consumer spending habits. China's strong economic growth and rising disposable income levels have led to an increase in demand for bicycles as a mode of transportation and leisure activity. Additionally, the Chinese government's push towards promoting eco-friendly and sustainable transportation options has also fueled the growth of the Bicycles Market. With a large population and ongoing urbanization, China presents a vast market opportunity for bicycle manufacturers and retailers.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on the sales of bicycles and the respective average prices for bicycles.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined through a Bottom-Up approach, building on specific predefined factors for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use publications of industry associations, expert blogs, and data provided by governments and scientific institutions. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, population, and consumer spending per capita (based on current prices). This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the ARIMA time series forecast and forecasts based on previous growth rates are well suited for forecasting the future demand for bicycles due to the brick and mortar nature of this market. The main drivers are GDP, consumer spending per capita, and population. The scenario analysis is based on a Monte Carlo simulation approach generating a range of possible outcomes by creating random variations in forecasted data points, based on assumptions about potential fluctuations in future values. By running numerous simulated scenarios, the model provides an estimated distribution of results, allowing for an analysis of likely ranges and confidence intervals around the forecast.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated once a year. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development).
