Electric Bicycles - Global Market Opportunities, Barriers, Technology Issues, and Demand Forecasts for E-Bicycles, Pedal-Assist Bicycles, and E-Bicycle Batteries and Motors
Electric Bicycles - Global Market Opportunities, Barriers, Technology Issues, and Demand Forecasts for E-Bicycles, Pedal-Assist Bicycles, and E-Bicycle Batteries and Motors
The electric bicycle market remains sharply divided between China and
everywhere else. While 9 of every 10 e-bicycle sales still occur in China,
elsewhere the market has matured over the last couple of years, resulting in
expected sales of 2.6 million e-bicycles in 2013. New, well-established
manufacturers are entering the market, either as vehicle manufacturers or
industry suppliers.
However, the e-bicycle market is in a state of change. Western Europe's market
is growing increasingly crowded with competitors and now accounts for more
than 20% of global e-bicycle revenue annually. Meanwhile, North American
players are finding new, younger e-bicycle consumers among those who ride for
transportation rather than entertainment. Even the massive 28 million unit
Chinese market is in a state of change as the government considers changes to
the rules governing the market and consumers begin to recognize the value of
lithium ion over lead-acid batteries. Navigant Research forecasts that annual
sales of e-bicycles will grow from 31 million in 2013 to nearly 38 million in
2020.
This Navigant Research report provides a detailed analysis of the market
forces, key drivers of growth, technology, and government influence on the
worldwide market for electric bicycles. Forecasts are included, both base and
aggressive scenarios, for annual e-bicycle sales through 2020, broken down by
region and by battery technology. The report also includes profiles of key
e-bicycle manufacturers, suppliers, and other market players.
