Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The need to reduce air pollution is the key factor driving the market growth. One of the reasons for the reduction in air pollution is that bicycles do not use any fuel. A car, on average, produces around 1.3 billion cubic yards of polluted air throughout its lifespan. Furthermore, air pollution can occur from worn tire particles, brake garbage, and emissions from the plastic and other materials used in vehicles. Bicycles are equipped with gears, which help manage speed better and make it easier to drive through mountain areas, overpasses, and rough roads. Several people in Europe now prefer to cycle to work, especially with governments constructing bicycle-friendly streets.
In addition, a growing number of commuters in China are using battery-operated bikes. Therefore, the increase in fuel prices is driving the adoption of bicycles in everyday activities. Gearboxes are an essential part of bicycles, and each bicycle has a gearbox equipped with either single gear or multiple gears, which helps drivers to have a better experience of riding as it eases the effort needed to manage the speed. Hence, the rise in the adoption of bicycles will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The introduction of CVT in bicycles is the primary trend shaping market growth. Continuously variable transmission (CVT) changes the way mechanical power is transmitted. This technology provides improved transmission with flexibility ranging from bicycles and automobiles to small wind turbines. The system maintains the fuel and helps provide smooth and continuous progression from one speed to another without any harsh ratio changes or gear engagement. It is compact, lightweight, has a high torque density, and is user-friendly.
Moreover, the manufacturing cost of this transmission is also low as standard industrial materials are used. This also makes it scalable for various applications. Moreover, some of the market players are also focusing on launching bicycle transmission products with CVT technology for the smooth functioning of gears. Thus, the introduction of CVT in bicycles will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The increase in maintenance of multiple-gear system bicycles is a challenge that affects market growth. Single-speed bicycles are mostly used by individuals who ride on flat surfaces rather than on hills. On the other hand, multiple-geared bicycles are mostly used in MTBs and performance bicycles. Selecting the appropriate gear ratio will ease riding. However, the components attached to the multi-gear bicycle make it appropriate to tackle different types of terrain and conditions.
Furthermore, the complex design and the multiple parts involved will increase the maintenance cost when compared to a single-gear bicycle, thereby posing a challenge to the adoption of the multiple-gear system. Therefore, an increase in the maintenance of multiple-gear system bicycles will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market research report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.

Data is qualitatively analyzed to categorize companies as pure play, category-focused, industry-focused, and diversified; it is quantitatively analyzed to categorize companies as dominant, leading, strong, tentative, and weak.
The multiple gear segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Multiple gears offer various speed ranges and are useful in hilly terrains, rocky areas, and difficult and normal road conditions. Multiple gears are usually used in sports and mountain bicycles. Multiple gear ratio helps in minimizing the torque at low revolutions, which is especially useful in climbing hilly areas. It lessens the power required to pedal. The choices available for altering gears help for riding smoothly and at different speeds and inclines.

The multiple gear segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 3.24 billion in 2018. Several market players are developing multiple gearboxes to provide various speeds. A multiple-gearbox system can contain a hub gear or derailleur gear or both hub and derailleur gears. The derailleur gear system is the most prevalent in the market. The hub gear system is costly and is just penetrating the market. Thus, such factors will positively impact the growth of the multiple gear segment of the market during the forecast period.

Europe is estimated to contribute 32% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The European countries are shifting toward car-free cities, thereby driving the bicycle market in the region. Certain areas in cities such as Paris, Copenhagen, and Hamburg have become car-free owing to the congestion in traffic and an increase in pollution. These cities are increasing commuting by bicycle by developing an infrastructure of only bicycle lanes. The introduction of a public bicycle scheme, which is also known as the bicycle-sharing program or community bicycling scheme, is another major step taken by countries in Europe to promote bicycles. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth in this region during the forecast period.
