According to market insights,

Why Bicycles are Back in the Spotlight

Bicycles are being increasingly recognized as safe, affordable, health-beneficial, and environment-friendly alternatives to motorized transport. As cities around the globe face rising levels of traffic congestion and pollution, bicycles provide a simple and effective solution. From mountain bikes and hybrid bikes to electric and cargo models, today’s bicycles cater to diverse consumer needs and lifestyles.

Several factors are pushing this momentum forward:

• Urban congestion is encouraging commuters to shift from cars to bikes.

• Health consciousness post-pandemic has accelerated fitness-related spending.

• Sustainability goals have prompted both individuals and governments to support green mobility.

• Recreational cycling activities, such as mountain trekking, cycling rallies, and competitive sports, have boosted demand across demographics.

These shifts are evident in both mature and developing markets. For instance, the Trek Bicycle Foundation, launched in July 2021, supports the development of public mountain biking trails and cycling infrastructure—an effort that exemplifies how brands are investing in long-term ecosystem growth.

Segment Insights

The global bicycle market is segmented by type, technology, end-user, and distribution channel. Among all types, hybrid bicycles held the largest share in 2020 and are expected to dominate the segment through the forecast period. Combining features of both road and mountain bikes, hybrid bikes are ideal for city commutes and occasional outdoor adventures. Their comfort, versatility, and adaptability to multiple terrains have made them the preferred choice for urban riders.

In addition to hybrids, electric bicycles (e-bikes) are rapidly gaining popularity, especially in urban areas with last-mile commuting challenges. However, conventional bicycles still lead the market in volume, driven by their affordability, ease of use, and suitability for exercise and leisure. The fitness-focused population and affordability in emerging economies continue to support this category's dominance.

Men Lead Usage, But Growth Across Demographics

Based on end-users, bicycles are segmented into men, women, and kids. While all demographics show rising interest in cycling, the men’s segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is largely attributed to the growing popularity of cycling among men for fitness, commuting, and adventure sports. Hybrid, mountain, and e-bikes are particularly preferred among this group.

Meanwhile, bicycle companies are also targeting female and younger riders by introducing gender-specific designs, smaller frames, safety features, and promotional campaigns highlighting health and environmental benefits.

Offline Retail Holds Strong, Even in a Digital Age

Despite the surge in e-commerce, the offline distribution channel remains dominant in the global bicycle market. Consumers still prefer to physically assess bicycles before making a purchase, particularly for higher-value models. The increasing number of offline outlets, test ride centers, and brand-exclusive stores is helping to strengthen the offline segment.

An example of this trend is BLive’s expansion into offline retail, beginning with a multi-brand store in Hyderabad. With plans to open over 100 such stores across India within three years, the move indicates the growing consumer demand for tactile, in-person experiences in the cycling market.

Regional Outlook

From a regional standpoint, Europe currently leads the global bicycle market, thanks to advanced infrastructure, supportive policies, and high environmental awareness. The continent’s emphasis on carbon neutrality and sustainable mobility has positioned bicycles as a crucial component of urban transport planning.

However, Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In countries like China and India, bicycles are not only popular for daily transport but are also gaining traction as fitness and lifestyle tools. China, in particular, dominates the region’s e-bike segment and has seen a surge in bike-sharing platforms as an alternative to public transportation. Meanwhile, India is witnessing a cultural shift with urban professionals embracing cycling in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.
