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.

Key Mountain Bike Market Driver

Mountain biking tourism, which acts as a catalyst for economic development is a key factor driving the market. Mountain biking primarily focuses on off-road travel, where bikers ride on gravel, dirt roads, and uneven terrains to reach their destination. This is an environment-friendly industry that offers healthy recreation and a non-polluting sustainable mode of transport for riders. Mountain biking tourism helps to bring in revenue for the host community and region. People travel to various destinations around the world to experience mountain biking.  The sport has a positive impact on local businesses and is a source of revenue generation for many countries, besides having a minimal impact on the environment.

The increase in the number of tourists helps in generating jobs and income, such as providing accommodation, food, leisure activities, local tourist guides, travel guides, and bike rentals. In addition, the efforts made by local governments to maintain tourist areas are attracting people. Various other projects, such as opening new trails; developing beginner-level trails for kids; and development of advanced trails for various purposes, such as free rides, downhill trails, pump tracks, and jump parks, act as a catalyst for the growth of the global mountain bike market during the forecast period.

Key Mountain Bike Market Trend

The development of electric mountain bikes will fuel the global mountain bicycle market growth. Continuous advances in mountain bikes in terms of design and technology have led to the development of electric mountain bikes. Electric mountain bikes help riders to amplify their pedaling power, which makes mountain biking less exhausting for them. It also helps compensate for the differences in performance as stronger riders can choose a lower level of engine support or can switch off the engine. In the case of uphill riding, riders can choose a higher level of support from the engine to amplify the riding experience.  Mountain bikes open up new sporting opportunities by aiding the riders to tackle new requirement profiles and different hardness levels, as electric bikes help in easing the ride. Even though electric mountain bikes help enhance the experience of the rider, they are heavier than conventional mountain bikes, thereby making it difficult for the riders to manage the bike for long rides. Thus, technological advancements such as the development of electric mountain bikes will spur the growth of the global mountain bike market during the forecast period.

Key Mountain Bike Market Challenge

An increase in the number of accidents and crashes and related injuries is the major challenge to the global mountain bicycle market growth. Mountain biking is a popular and exciting off-road adventure sport, which is witnessing an increase in the number of participants and competitions. During the ride, the riders travel through uneven terrain and are highly vulnerable to danger as they are unaware of surface irregularities on the trail. Although various companies have developed safety equipment to enhance the safety of the bikers, they are still prone to both minor and major accidents as they are unaware of the terrain ahead. The riders are also prone to accidents because of natural phenomena such as sudden changes in the weather and lack of sunlight, which may result in serious fatalities and injuries. These high risks associated with the sport are negatively affecting the mountain bike market. This factor restricts enthusiasts from exploring new trails and new mountain areas, which, in turn, can affect mountain biking tourism and the revenue generated by mountain biking tourism. Such factors will hamper the demand for mountain bikes, which, in turn, will impede the growth of the global mountain bike market during the forecast period.
