The global cycle computer market size was USD 294.13 million in 2021 and is projected to touch USD 525.14 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.97% during the forecast period.

A calculator that helps in calculating the distance a cycle has covered and the calories burned while cycling is called a cycle computer. A bike computer is a particular navigational tool that may be mounted on a bicycle's handlebars. This cycle computer uses GPS to collect satellite signals, allowing riders to monitor their rides and keep tabs on their performance. Additionally, it monitors the owner's progress while driving, enables them to create new routes or adhere to a pre-planned route, and allows them to watch the progress in real-time.

It is an instrument mounted on a cycle or bike. It shows and calculates the information about the trip. It works as an odometer/speedometer, which can be seen on the cycle’s top. It is mounted to the handlebar to make it easily visible to the rider. It is also known as a cyclo-computer. Various versions of this computer are available. The basic model shows standard details such as energy level, heart rate, calories burned, navigation, and water percentage. It comes with various sensors, which can track the detail such as heart rate for monitoring the rider's heart rate, cadence or speed sensor, or rear wheel sensors.

COVID-19 Impact: Changing Consumer Habits Retarded Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with cycle computers experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Restrictions on stepping out hampered the market growth. COVID-19 harmed the market in 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, economic growth declined throughout almost all major areas, changing consumer spending habits. In the first half of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic also stopped the commerce and manufacturing of bike computers. However, after the lockdown measures were lifted, many people worldwide embraced bicycle activities for fitness-related reasons. Additionally, a rise in bicycle recreational activities was observed in various nations. The need for bike computers to monitor health while cycling, track fitness activities, and for navigational purposes increased.

LATEST TRENDS

"Rising Health Concerns among the Population to Surge Growth"

The need for bike computers is growing as bicycle users become more health-conscious. Bike computers track various information, including energy level, water %, calories expended, heart rate, and others based on the route and amount of exercise. The GPS technology built into the bike computer devices can also help the riders. Additionally, it is anticipated that GPS navigation offered by bike computer equipment would provide maps to help cyclists commute more efficiently. For instance, Garmin, one of the top American manufacturers of bike computer devices, recently unveiled the Edge 520, the first bike computer product to include GPS technology. With turn-by-turn directions and biking-specific routing, it makes commuting possible for the users.
