The front wheel of a normal bicycle is held in a rotating fork, and the wheels are positioned in line in a metal frame. The rider steers by swaying and turning handlebars that are attached to the fork while seated on a saddle. The prefix "bi-," which means "two," and the suffix "-cycle," which means "wheel," are the source of the name. It is propelled by a person sitting on top who uses his or her feet to move the pedals.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic decreased the Market Demand

Multiple markets have suffered as a result of the pandemic's spread. Due to supply chain disruptions and halted manufacturing facilities, this market initially slowed down as well. However, following a brief recession, the bicycle sector saw a boom in the second half of 2020 due to an unexpected increase in cycling demand. The population was influenced to use cycling for commuting, transportation, and leisure activities due to restrictions on available leisure activities, public transportation, and stringent social distancing laws. Rising health concerns among the populace during the COVID-19 also encouraged people to choose cycling as a form of exercise and enjoyment. As a result, the market's expansion during the epidemic was hastened by this rising need for cycles.

LATEST TRENDS

Increasing number of cycling events to fuel market growth

Demand for both general and sports bicycles is anticipated to increase due to the growing use of bicycles in recreational and trekking activities as well as a rise in cycling competitions. Market expansion is anticipated to be fueled by the expanding influence of celebrity endorsements and expanded media coverage of relevant events. Aside from that, a number of regulatory bodies in European nations, including Cycling Ireland, support road racing, leisure and touring cycling, track racing, and off-road racing competitions. The Irish Sports Council claims that Sport Ireland's funding for Cycling Ireland increased from EUR 440 000 in 2021 to EUR 520 000 in 2022, enticing customers to partake in a variety of cycling activities in Ireland. The event's ultimate objective was to boost bicycle adoption in the city and increase cycling awareness.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increased awareness about health to stimulate market demand

Cycling is becoming more and more popular as people become more conscious of its positive effects on their own health and the environment. The popularity of cycling is growing significantly among city dwellers. Cities become more crowded as a result of urbanization, increasing traffic jams. This is yet another element contributing to sports bicycle market growth. Due to the improved quality of the materials used and the components compared to mass-produced bicycles, high-end bicycle are also becoming more and more popular, especially among sports lovers.

• England’s National Travel Survey reports an average of 915 trips per person per year in 2023—6 percent higher than 2022—indicating renewed cycling demand post-pandemic.

• The UK Department for Transport recorded 3.6 billion vehicle-miles by pedal cycles in 2023, underscoring high usage levels despite wider traffic declines.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lesser demand for cycle amongst children to restrict the market growth

Children aged 6 to 17 make up the single greatest age demographic of cyclists since they ride bicycles more frequently than any other age group. However, the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) reports that from 2014 to 2018, fewer than a million American youngsters rode bicycles on a regular basis. As demand for children's bicycles declines in the United States, the world's largest consumer of bicycles, the bicycle industry is predicted to suffer. This decline in demand is primarily attributable to children's changing lifestyles, who are increasingly spending the majority of their time on phones, video games, or televisions.

• That same DfT data shows 2023 pedal-cycle traffic was 7.3 percent below 2022 levels, highlighting volatility in cycling uptake.

• A Cycling UK study found 58 percent of women cite safety concerns as a key barrier to cycling—without safer infrastructure, market growth is constrained.
