Global E-bike Market - 2023-2030
Market Overview
The global E-bike market reached US$ XX million in 2022 and is projected to record significant growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
Electric bikes are regular bicycles with an electric motor, a battery and a drivetrain. They are called e-bicycles, pedelecs and power-assisted (bi)cycles. Users can pedal these bikes or use rechargeable batteries to move them. Three types of rechargeable batteries exist lead acid, lithium-ion (Li-ion) and nickel metal hydride (NiMH). The most popular type of battery is lead-acid, which can travel a long way on a single charge. Compared to motorized vehicles, these bikes are an affordable alternative that is environmentally friendly, convenient for all age groups and easy to use. E-bikes come in a wide range of designs and performance levels on the market.
Market Dynamics
Electric bikes are used not only for personal transportation but also to transport additional people and goods. These bikes are being quickly adopted and expanded globally due to assertions that they are ""greener"" and more sustainable transportation options. Factors like quickening urbanization, rising income and demand for transportation, snarled traffic, environmental pollution and an underdeveloped public transportation system are expected to drive the market growth. The popularity of electric bikes is rising,
Consumers perceive E-bikes as the best alternative to smart cars, transportation and scooters. Due to their compact design, they provide greater speed with little effort and provide several health advantages. They also help to reduce traffic congestion. These elements are anticipated to increase demand for E-bikes on a global scale. Increased automotive industry across all regions further drives the global market growth.
Electric bikes offer beneficial cardiovascular and physical activity, propelling the demand for E-bikes
Regular use of an electrically powered bicycle can give riders a good workout and improve some cardiovascular health factors, especially for those who had previously been physically inactive. With their integrated electric motor, electric assist bicycles or ""pedelecs"" enable riders to cover longer distances and more difficult terrain while still actively pedaling. Over the past few years, pedelecs have steadily gained popularity among consumers, particularly in Europe and Asia. Therefore, these factors will generate the demand for E-bikes across all economies.
Increased adoption of shared micro-mobility supports the market growth
Since its launch in 2018, e-assist shared micromobility has become increasingly popular as cities of all sizes take advantage of its simplicity, accessibility and capacity to counteract climate change in the face of an urgent need to reduce emissions associated with global transportation. In North America, millions of people depend on E-bikes and e-scooters to get them to transit, necessary services and locations that are too far or restrictive for walking or traditional pedal bikes. Ridership has increased in popularity, which speaks for itself. For instance, as per the NABSA report, a total of 128 million trips were completed across North America. On average, over 232 thousand vehicles were deployed across North America in 2021.
However, it is also predicted that the higher cost of purchasing E-bikes restrains the market growth.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
Before COVID-19, the bike industry was experiencing a notable increase in sales, but as a result of the lockdown imposed by the pandemic, those sales have sharply increased. For instance, a World Economic Forum (WEF) article claims that sales of electric bikes increased by 1455 in U.S. in 2020 compared to 2019. For instance, the NPD Group reports that in June 2020 compared to June 2019, sales of these bikes with average selling prices over US$ 1,000 increased by 190%. Therefore, the increase in E-bike sales during the pandemic is supported by consumer health benefits and environmental consciousness.
Segment Analysis
The global E-bike market is segmented based on propulsion, battery, application, power, motor and region.
Increase the cyclist's pedaling force with a pedal assist in making cycling easier, enabling them to travel a greater distance and thereby exert less physical effort
The propulsion type is segmented into pedal-assisted, throttle-assisted and others. It is anticipated that the pedal segment will be the largest propulsion type segment. Pedelecs have several benefits over conventional bikes, including high mobility, which is useful for older people while climbing hills, the ability to travel farther on a single charge than a regular bicycle and the need for less effort when riding uphill or against the wind.
Geographical Analysis

The growing popularity of electric bikes in the region contributes to market growth
The majority of market shares in the global E-bike market continue to hold by Asia-Pacific due to China and India's growing e-bike adoption. At the same time, it is anticipated that other nations in the region, including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Australia, will increase their market shares by educating consumers about the advantages of e-bikes. Additionally, international E-bike OEMs are shifting and increasing their presence and operations in the region. The expansion of local players brought by the technology transfer is anticipated to lower the cost of incorporating e-bikes in the region. As a result, the region is anticipated to increase its market share during the anticipated period.
