Definition:

Bicycles are means of transport designed to transport people and goods for professional and private purposes. They are used for leisure activities such as travelling or for physical exercise. Depending on the specific purpose and rider, bicycles come in different shapes and features.

They are powered by mere human strength or additionally with an assisting electrical engine. Unlike electrically powered scooters and mopeds, electrical bicycles always have pedals allowing them to be ridden with human power.

In recent years, different renting models have been established such as bike-sharing, in which bicycles can be rented for a defined period in exchange for a fee. These rented bikes are not included in this market outlook. Only bikes that were purchased for ownership are covered.

The Bicycles Market in North America has been experiencing slow growth, influenced by factors such as consumer preference for alternative modes of transportation, increasing prices of bicycles, and the rise of electric scooters and skateboards. This minimal growth can also be attributed to the sub-markets of Regular Bicycles and Electric Bicycles, as well as the overall economic climate in the region.

Customer preferences: As the urban population continues to grow, there is a rising demand for sustainable and eco-friendly modes of transportation. This has led to an increase in the popularity of electric bicycles and bike-sharing programs, especially among young adults. Additionally, with the rise of the health and wellness trend, there has been a shift towards cycling as a form of exercise and leisure activity, further driving the demand for bicycles. This shift is also influenced by the growing awareness of the environmental benefits of cycling and the desire for a healthier and more active lifestyle.

Trends in the market: In North America, the Bicycles Market is experiencing a surge in demand for electric bikes, with sales expected to reach $15.42 billion by 2025. This trend is driven by a growing focus on sustainability and the increasing popularity of e-bikes for commuting and leisure activities. Additionally, there is a rise in the adoption of bike-sharing services and the use of cycling as a mode of transportation in urban areas. These trends have significant implications for industry stakeholders, as they provide opportunities for growth and innovation in the market. However, there may also be challenges in terms of infrastructure and regulations that need to be addressed to fully capitalize on this trend.

Local special circumstances: In North America, the Bicycles Market is influenced by a variety of factors, including geographic diversity, a strong cycling culture, and government initiatives to promote sustainable transportation. For example, in the United States, the market is driven by the popularity of cycling as a recreational activity and the increasing focus on reducing carbon emissions. In Canada, the market is shaped by a strong cycling community and government investments in cycling infrastructure. Additionally, both countries have seen a rise in the demand for e-bikes due to their convenience and eco-friendliness.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Bicycles Market market in North America is heavily influenced by macroeconomic factors such as consumer spending, employment rates, and government policies. For instance, a strong economy with high consumer confidence and low unemployment rates can lead to increased sales and demand for bicycles. On the other hand, economic downturns and government policies that restrict consumer spending can negatively impact market growth. Furthermore, initiatives promoting sustainable transportation and increasing awareness about the health and environmental benefits of cycling are also driving the market in North America.

The bicycle market in Germany has been enjoying dynamic development for a very long time. Bicycles are a popular way to get around in both urban and rural areas, with young children learning to ride firmly entrenched in the national culture. Germany has a variety of scenic bike routes, but looking out for bike lanes in a city is a daily part of life both for cyclists and pedestrians. Many cyclists value the multiple advantages cycling brings – physical activity, saving money by foregoing commuting with public transport or driving, and the eco-friendly aspect. A German city, Munster, even made it on the list of the eight most bike-friendly cities in the world in 2022.
