The declining cost of lithium-ion batteries is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the high maintenance cost of e-bikes may impede the market growth. Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a decrease in demand for the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The declining cost of lithium-ion batteries is the key factor driving the global high-end bicycle market growth. The growing popularity of e-bikes in Europe and most of the developing Asian countries is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. E-bikes are one of the most advanced types of high-end bicycles. E-bikes provide a battery-powered assist when the rider pedals the bicycle. On pedalling, the pedal-assist activates the motor in the e-bike and allows the rider to ride uphill and cruise over tough terrain with ease. These bikes allow riders to manage (increase and decrease) the speed easily and do not tire out riders.
Factors such as the need to charge the battery constantly have hindered the adoption of e-bikes in the past. However, the availability of technologically advanced batteries, which retain their charge for a long period of time, and the availability of fast-charging options support the adoption of e-bikes. E-bike vendors are investing heavily in expanding their product portfolios. Moreover, favourable government initiatives and subsidies for e-bikes are expected to eliminate the current challenges faced by e-bikes, which will support market growth during the forecast period.
The smart features in high-end bikes will fuel the global high-end bicycle market growth. The global high-end bicycle market is currently undergoing significant technological advances. One of the major trends in the market is the increasing number of smart features being offered by the vendors of high-end bicycles. Vendors are not just developing smart bikes but are also developing ways to incorporate smart features in their existing range of bikes.
Most e-bikes are equipped with intelligent assistance techniques that allow users to connect their bicycles to their smartphones. Argon 18, one of the vendors in the market, offers high-end bicycles that are considered smart bikes. These smart bikes comprise 30 aerodynamic sensors and calculate muscle oxygenation and lactic acid levels of the rider. These sensors also capture and study heart rate variability. The above factors will drive market growth during the forecast period.
The high maintenance cost of e-bikes is a major challenge to the global high-end bicycle market growth. The high maintenance cost of e-bikes is a major challenge for the growth of the market. E-bikes, despite gaining significant popularity globally in recent years, face a threat from their adoption in developing countries. Although in Europe, the e-bike market is witnessing strong growth, the market in developing countries of APAC and South America witnesses various challenges, such as the lack of proper infrastructure.
The lack of necessary infrastructure to support and encourage commuters to use e-bikes is significantly limiting the sales of these high-end bicycles. Many developing countries do not have bicycle lanes and lock systems in public areas to prevent the theft of bicycles. These factors are also limiting the adoption of high-end bicycles. However, the major problem faced by the market is the high maintenance cost associated with high-end bicycles like e-bikes. E-bikes run on batteries, which require constant charging and regular maintenance. In addition, the low running range and high maintenance and repair costs of e-bikes are expected to hinder their adoption, thereby posing a threat to the growth of the high-end bicycle market during the forecast period.
Our analysis of the Life Cycle of the market indicates a movement from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. The report illustrates the lifecycle of the market, focusing on the adoption rates of the major countries including the US, China, Germany, the UK, and France. Technavio has included key purchase criteria, adoption rates, adoption lifecycles, and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies from 2022 to 2027.

The market share growth by the hybrid bikes segment will be significant during the forecast period. A hybrid bicycle is a combination of a mountain bike, a touring bike, and a road bike. Hybrid bicycles are ideal for riding over different types of terrain, and thus, they can be used for commuting on a day-to-day basis. These bicycles have a flat handlebar similar to mountain bikes instead of the drop bar found in road bicycles. Therefore, hybrid bicycles are equipped with brake and gear components similar to mountain bicycles.

The hybrid bikes segment showed a gradual increase in market share with USD 3.80 billion in 2017 and continued to grow by 2021. These cycles are lightweight and have thinner wheels and smooth tires (like road bikes), which allow riders to gain higher speed with less exertion while riding on roads. Owing to their stability, comfort, and ease of use, hybrid bikes have gained significant popularity among cyclists, casual riders, commuters, as well as children. In addition, hybrid bicycles have a more upright riding position, which makes riding more comfortable and safer in traffic. Furthermore, our report provides a brief analysis of the historical and forecast market share and their segments along with the reasons for growth from 2017 to 2027.
The growth of this segment is primarily attributed to the increasing adoption of High-End Bicycles, which is driven by an increase in the global demand for the High-End Bicycle Industry.

The growing disposable income is allowing people to opt for high-end bicycles for various applications
This report forecasts the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the market. In addition, we have included the COVID-19 impact and the recovery strategies for each segment. The outbreak of COVID-19 led to a surge in demand for high-end bicycles in North America. The outbreak of COVID-19 in the region led to the imposition of lockdowns in several countries in 2020. This led to a slowdown in the supply chain process and reduced the production and sales of bicycles across the region, which was primarily attributed to the restrictions imposed during the lockdowns. As people had to follow social distancing norms, they showed a reduced preference for public transportation, which increased the demand for high-end bicycles in North America. Moreover, vendors are expanding in the region due to the increasing demand for high-end bicycles, such as electric bicycles (e-bikes). Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the regional high-end bicycle market during the forecast period.
Our report forecasts revenue growth at global, regional & country levels and provides an analysis of the latest trends and growth opportunities from 2017 to 2027.
