Bike Sharing Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Global Bike Sharing is anticipated to display a CAGR of around ~12% over the forecast period (2021-2027). Governments all over the world are supporting e-bikes and taking various efforts to encourage their use. Developing countries, such as China and India, are driving the e-bike market. China, for example, is the world's largest e-bike market. China has traditionally been the world's top exporter of electric motorcycles, with high import and export volumes. China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology reports that during the first 10 months of 2020, the nation's production of electric bicycles increased by 33.4 percent year over year, reaching 25.48 million units. The income of major bicycle manufacturing companies reached around USD 22 billion during this time, an increase of 16.8%. E-bikes are becoming more popular around the world as a result of their quick and flexible operation and zero carbon emissions. The growing popularity of e-bikes as a cost-effective and environmentally responsible mode of transportation is fueling the growth of the bike-sharing industry. The company's expansion is likely to be aided by increased spending in R&D operations aimed at improving battery performance and improving bicycle infrastructure. Commuters mostly use these cycles for hill climbing and carrying big goods, both of which require manual pedaling. Bike-sharing companies in North America and Europe are replacing traditional bikes with e-bikes to give their customers more reliable and efficient service.

Insights Presented in the Report

"Amongst Bike Type, E-Bike segment to be most lucrative"

Based on bike type, the market is segmented into Traditional Bike and E-Bike. The E-Bike segment is projected to be the most lucrative segment, as e-bikes are becoming more popular around the world as a result of their quick and flexible operations and zero carbon emissions. In addition, an increase in consumer interest in using e-bikes as a cost-effective and environmentally responsible mode of transportation is fueling the growth of bike sharing. Furthermore, when compared to a pedal-operated bike, an e-bike is a much-favored option because it meets the criteria for higher speed in short-distance commuting. Higher speeds, greater convenience, effortless driving, and changing motor power based on road conditions all contribute to the popularity of e-bikes for sharing.

"Amongst sharing system, Dockless segment dominated the market in 2020."

Based on sharing system, the market is segmented into Docked and Dockless. Over the anticipated period, the dockless segment is expected to develop at a healthy rate. Due to technical advancements, dockless electric bike-sharing products have been introduced, which enable improved bike-sharing services and convenience of transit access by allowing customers to pick up and drop off bikes at any lawful public vehicle parking instead of the operator's bike stations. The number of dockless electric bikes on the market is increasing. Uber, for example, introduced its dockless electric bikes in London in May 2019. The dockless bikes have baskets and phone mounts, as well as an electric pedal system that delivers up to 15 miles per hour of assistance

"Amongst Model, Free Floating segment dominated the market in 2020"

Based on the model, the market is segmented into Station-based, Free Floating, and P2P. Because of its increased flexibility, accessibility, and affordability, the free-floating model is likely to spread rapidly. To save the cost of installing huge docking stations, service providers are progressively placing dockless cycles on the roadways. The integration of advanced GPS solutions into bikes makes it easier for service providers to locate them in any location, reducing the risk of theft. Commuters primarily utilize these cycles to travel long distances without having to worry about parking. For returning the bike to a designated parking place, several service providers, such as LimeBike and oBike, offer credit points. Increasing traffic congestion in cities is encouraging commuters to use free-floating options rather than station-based options

"Asia Pacific represents the largest market."

From 2021 to 2027, the Asia Pacific bike sharing market is estimated to grow significantly. Due to changing consumer preferences for energy-efficient transportation solutions, the industry is experiencing rapid expansion in the region. China has over 70 bike-sharing organizations, according to the Ministry of Transport (MoT), with 23 million bicycles and over 400 million customers across the country.

Furthermore, around 30 Chinese cities, including Shanghai and Beijing, have enacted a number of regulations to guide bike-sharing maintenance, operation, and production, allowing service providers to remove broken bikes from the fleet. For example, in August 2017, China issued a national framework for regulating dockless bike-sharing to guarantee that bikes are distributed evenly and that specified parking spaces are available. Some of the major players operating in the market include: Lyft, Inc., Uber Technologies, Inc., Neutron Holdings Inc., Meituan, Dropbike Inc., JCDecaux Group, Mobike, Motivate LLC, Jump Bicycles and Nextbike Berlin etc.
