Electric Bike Market: Broad Contours
Electric-bikes (e-bike) are emerging as a smart choice for many looking for clean and energy efficient vehicles for personal mobility, and are found to gain preference over conventional bikes. The increasing number of convenience features in e-bike, notably electric assistance system’s algorithms, and development of dedicated cycling infrastructure in various countries are likely to spur sales in the electric bike market. During the COVID-19 outbreaks in 2020, consumers keen on avoiding crowded marketplaces had shown inclination toward e-bikes for micro-mobility.
The growing demand for e-bikes in advancing the eco-friendly personal micro-mobility will pave way to more investments by automotive companies in the electric bike market. The global valuation is projected to reach US$ 95.50 Bn by 2031, notes a TMR study on the electric bike market. Policy makers in some regions have introduced subsidy schemes to promote the commercialization of e-bikes over the past five years. The drive has stemmed from the focus of governments to make transport system more sustainable especially in urban areas.
Key Findings of Electric Bike Market Study
E-bikes Attracting Massive Attention as Mode of Clean Urban Transport: The sustained impetus of various governments in electrifying the transport system is a key driver for demand for electric bikes. In the past few years, automotive players in the electric bike market have gained opportunities from the growing focus on e-bikes in promoting personal e-mobility. A key factor underpinning the trend is that e-bikes have demonstrated environmental benefits as low-maintenance light electric vehicles, both for personal transport and cargo movement. Furthermore, manufacturers of e-bikes are keenly geared toward making e-bikes as an economically sustainable by making them more affordable, thus expanding the avenue in the electric bike market.
Advancements in Battery Technologies, Reduction of Cost to Advance Sustainability Quotient of E-bikes: In several countries, the implementation of emission regulations in the transport sector pertaining to conventional bikes and IC combustion engines has become more stringent than ever, given the significant contribution of the sector in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Concurrently, industry players and governments are making concerted efforts in advancing the charging infrastructure to promote electric cycling. On the other side of the spectrum, many two-wheeler manufacturers are integrating advanced battery technologies to boost the market prospect of e-bikes.
In this regard, growing R&D on the graphene lithium nanotechnology in e-bike batteries will stridently boost the popularity of e-bikes, notes the study on the global electric bike market. Furthermore, advancements in electric assistance systems will spur prospects of e-bikes in zero-emission mobility, thereby unlocking new revenue streams in the near future, notes the study on the electric bike market. The increasing integration of e-bikes with advanced drivetrains, notably braking system, is likely to improve the durability, safety, and convenience for consumers, thereby helping manufacturers meet next-gen automotive standards.
