The increasing adoption of refurbished bicycles is encouraging market participants to enter the refurbished bicycle business model, thereby increasing the aftermarket of bicycle lights. The ease of the availability of the product and the increasing popularity of the do-it-yourself (DIY) concept are the main factors driving the market, as many regions such as the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands impose fines on violating the mandatory installation of bicycle lights. However, users do not consider bicycle lights as an important feature, but with strict rules and regulations, there is an increase in the aftermarket products to be fitted in the bicycles. However, currently, these features are being incorporated in bicycles as a factory fit, which will limit the aftermarket for the products, therefore slowing down the usual growth rate of the global aftermarket type segment 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.

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. Europe is the largest market, mainly because of its strict rules pertaining to the use of bicycle lights after sunset and in between sunrise, leading to heavy fines in case of violation. Moreover, the EU imposed a heavy tax on the import of bicycles without lights. However, the cost of the lights is lower than the tax imposed. Thus, both manufacturers, as well as importers deploy lights on bicycles. Moreover, European countries are shifting toward car-free cities, thus, driving the bicycle market in the region. Cities such as Paris, Copenhagen, and Hamburg have gone car-free, owing to the congestion in traffic and the increase in pollution rate. Commuting by bicycle is high in these cities. This drives the market, as it is mandatory to use lights to increase the visibility range of the rider.
The Market is experiencing significant growth, driven by safety and security concerns among cyclists, similar to those faced by vehicle owners. As vehicle thefts and fraudulent insurance claims rise, cyclists are increasingly turning to bicycle lights for added protection on the road. Just as dashboard cameras provide evidence in car accidents, bicycle lights serve as a form of recorded footage in road mishaps, deterring fraudulent claims and enhancing safety. Prominent automotive dashboard camera manufacturers are expanding into the bicycle lights market, offering features like real-time monitoring and location tracking for owners' fleets. With regulations tightening and insurance costs on the rise, the demand for bicycle lights with advanced safety features such as lane departure warning systems and blind spot detection is expected to grow, ensuring the safety of cyclists and reducing accidents on the road. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year and the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Government initiatives to promote cycling are a major factors propelling the market growth. Cities in the US, UK, Germany, and Sweden promote cycling due to traffic constraints. They adopt bike master plans and invest in bike infrastructure. The UK offers the "Cycle to Work" scheme with up to USD 1,263 for bikes and gear. China, Japan, UK, the Netherlands, and New Zealand launched schemes to reduce air and noise pollution. PM2.5 concentration in China increased in early 2020. Governments promote cycling for daily commutes through various schemes such as:
The increasing popularity of bicycle rental services is a primary trend in the market. Enterprises offering application-based bicycle rental services include:
The high cost of raw materials is hindering the market growth. Raw material costs are crucial for market growth. Increased raw material prices raise costs for manufacturers, who then pass on some of the costs to customers through higher prices. Manufacturers struggle to maintain inventory and predict price fluctuations due to cost pressure. The LED lighting market may face growth restrictions due to rising raw material costs, including precursors, rolled steel, aluminum, electronic components, and plastics. Producer price indexes for these materials have risen by more than 80, increasing operational costs. Intense market competition has led to reduced profitability and competitive pricing. Despite decreasing prices for LED lights, they remain more expensive than alternatives, leading to efforts to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The high cost of raw materials may slow down the growth of the global LED lighting market, especially as the bicycle headlamp increasingly uses LED.
