E-bike Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The declining cost of Li-ion batteries is notably driving the e-bike market growth, although factors such as the product recall due to possible failures may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the e-bike industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key E-bike Market Driver

One of the key factors driving the global e-bike market is the declining cost of Li-ion batteries. The expanding use of EVs in the global automotive sector has provided Li-ion battery manufacturers with economies of scale, lowering the cost of Li-ion batteries and making them viable for use in e-bikes. As a result, Li-ion batteries are increasingly being used in e-bikes, particularly by bike-sharing firms. For instance, Yulu Bikes Pvt. Ltd. (Yulu Bikes), an Indian bike-sharing firm, employs domestically manufactured Li-ion batteries in its e-bikes. Furthermore, the cost of Li-ion batteries is declining as the volume of production increases and manufacturing efficiency improves. Between 2010 ($1,160 kWh) and 2019 ($156 kWh), the average cost of Li-ion battery packs per kWh fell by more than 86.55%. By the end of the forecast period, it is predicted to have dropped by around 35%. The cost of Li-ion batteries is decreasing as the price of battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide falls. During the projected period, the cost of Li-ion batteries is predicted to drop, propelling the global e-bike market forward.

Key E-bike Market Trend

The rising popularity of connected e-bikes is another factor supporting the global e-bike market growth in the forecast period. The introduction of ride-sharing, ride-hailing, and car rental services has aided in the adoption of connected automobiles. The worldwide popularity of e-bike-sharing services has resulted in the development of connected e-bikes. E-bike sharing firms and users can both track the real-time location of connected e-bikes. Connected e-bikes allow service providers to track the state of charge of batteries, allowing for more timely repair. Furthermore, connected e-bikes have the potential to improve and expand the e-bike-sharing business model, making it an important aspect of urban transportation. Furthermore, e-bikes have the potential to become an element of the seamless Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) with the incorporation of connection elements. A smartphone application can monitor, book, and pay for a bike once it is connected to a service network. Seamless connectivity with public transportation systems will also enable connected e-bikes to become a last-mile connectivity solution. During the forecast period, the popularity of connected e-bikes is likely to propel the global e-bike market.

Key E-bike Market Challenge

Product recalls due to possible failures will be a major challenge for the global e-bike market during the forecast period. Vehicle recalls can be caused by product flaws or the probable breakdown of systems. Formerly, producers were responsible for the whole expense of product recalls. However, as vendor relationships and partnerships with suppliers have improved along the value chain, suppliers and manufacturers have been urged to share the cost of product recalls. Vehicle manufacturers, tier-1 suppliers, and other stakeholders in the value chain have benefited from cost-sharing. It does, however, have a negative influence on their profit margins. As a result, product recalls are a challenge for all stakeholders involved. For instance, in December 2019, Trek Bicycle Corp., which is the parent company of Electra Bicycle Co., recalled 2,840 e-bikes after receiving two reports of the use of wrong bolts to secure the front fender to the fork crown. Similarly, in July 2019, Faraday Bicycles Inc. recalled about 4,450 e-bikes, owing to the possible failure of seat posts. Such recalls incur additional expenses for the manufacturers of e-bikes, which is a challenge for the growth of the global e-bike market during the forecast period.
