Retail Store Segment to Provide Impetus to The Market

The global foldable bicycle frame market is divided into OEMs, retail outlets, and repair stalls based on application. The business as a whole was dominated by the retail store segment, and this trend is anticipated to last during the projected period. An OEM manufacturer may find it costly and time-consuming to repair a bike made with subpar components or put together incorrectly.

Portability Of the Bikes to Accelerate Market Growth

The main benefit of folding a bike is to make it more portable. This makes it easier to transport and store, allowing you more flexibility in going from A to B. Unfolded bicycles are frequently prohibited or subject to restrictions on public transportation, although folded bicycles are frequently permitted.

Folding bicycles are only permitted by some transportation providers if they are protected by a bag or cover. Folding bikes are frequently allowed as standard baggage, free of charge, under airline baggage laws. Additionally, Singapore has established new regulations that permit foldable bicycles to be used on its rail and bus transportation systems.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Maintenance of the Bikes to Impede Market Expansion

Most folding bicycles have smaller wheels to make them more compact. One could therefore suffer some shock and a choppy ride on rough terrain. Sometimes riding off-road and in steep terrain is really challenging. Due to their collapsible design, folding bikes are highly prone to getting soiled. Also, when cycling regularly in rough terrain, nuts and bolts frequently come away. To ensure durability, you must frequently clean and maintain them. Sometimes you'll need to change the spares, which is a bit expensive.
