Bicycle Frames Global Market Report 2024

The bicycle frames market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $30.81 billion in 2023 to $34.62 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%. Historical growth can be attributed to advancements in materials, changes in frame design trends, the impact of mountain biking, the rise of road racing, and a market shift favoring lightweight frames.

The bicycle frames market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $56.05 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. Forecasted growth is driven by innovations in frame geometry, sustainability, urban mobility solutions, and component integration. Major trends include carbon fiber dominance, innovative designs, the surge in e-bikes, material variety, and enhanced customization options.

The rising popularity of bicycles is anticipated to drive the growth of the bicycle frames market in the foreseeable future. Bicycles, defined as vehicles with two wheels in tandem, handlebars for steering, a saddle seat, and pedals for propulsion, are experiencing increased adoption. Improvements in social infrastructure, particularly in developing countries, have played a pivotal role in encouraging people to choose cycling as a preferred mode of transportation. This surge in bicycle adoption subsequently fuels the demand for bicycle frames. As an illustration, in 2021, CBC News, a Canada-based news broadcast media, reported a significant 75% increase in bicycle usage. Consequently, the escalating preference for bicycles is a key factor propelling the growth of the bicycle frames market.

The expanding reach of e-commerce is anticipated to drive the growth of the bicycle frames market in the coming years. E-commerce, involving the online buying and selling of goods and services, provides a platform for consumers from diverse regions to access and purchase bicycle frames. This trend offers manufacturers the advantage of maintaining optimal inventory levels, reducing storage costs, and minimizing the time it takes for products to reach end-users. As an example, in August 2023, the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, reported a 7.5% increase (or 1.4%) in the estimate for e-commerce during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. In contrast, overall retail sales saw a 0.6% rise (or 0.4%), with online stores accounting for 15.4% of all sales in the second quarter of 2023. Consequently, the expanding footprint of e-commerce emerges as a significant driver for the growth of the bicycle frames market.

Product innovations have become a prominent trend gaining traction in the bicycle frames market. Key industry players are concentrating their efforts on introducing new and innovative solutions to enhance their market positions. A notable example is Giant Manufacturing Co.
