| Bicycle Industry Goes Green |
|
The global bicycle industry is expected to witness moderate growth over the next five years and reach an estimated $64.1 billion by 2018.
Growing fitness consciousness among people, rising energy prices, growing congestion due to increasing population and the number of cars on roads is expected to drive the bicycle industry over the next five years.
The growth of cycling as a leisure activity and due to growing environmental concerns by consumers, bicycles are emerging as an alternative for shorter distance transportation that causes no pollution. The industry, however, faces some challenges such as rising raw material costs and the increasing demand and popularity of motor bikes. Government initiatives to promote cycling in order to reduce carbon emissions and noise pollution are a strong growth driver. In addition, bicycles' energy efficiency, coupled with cycling as a fitness activity, will help propel demand during the forecast period.
