BICYCLE BRAKES MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global bicycle brakes market size was USD 0.83 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 1.21 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

Bicycle brakes are an essential component of a bicycle that allows the rider to slow down or stop the bike safely. They work by creating friction between the brake pads and the bicycle's wheel rims or disc rotors, converting the kinetic energy of the moving bike into heat energy.

This type of rim brake consists of two brake arms attached to a central pivot bolt. When the brake lever is squeezed, the arms move inwards, and the brake pads, which are lined with rubber or another friction material, press against the rim's sides. These brakes are like calliper brakes but have longer brake arms that provide increased leverage for better braking performance. They are commonly found on mountain bikes and hybrid bikes.

COVID-19 IMPACT

"Pandemic Hamper the Demand of Bicycle Brakes to Market Growth"

The global Covid-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the bicycle brakes market experiencing Higher than anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had various impacts on the bicycle industry, including bicycle brakes. During the pandemic, there was a surge in demand for bicycles as people sought alternative modes of transportation and recreational activities while adhering to social distancing guidelines. This increased demand put pressure on the supply chain, including the production and distribution of bicycle components such as brakes. Manufacturers faced challenges in meeting the sudden spike in demand, leading to shortages in some areas.
