The anticipated increase in demand for e-bikes is set to drive the growth of the bike-sharing market in the future. Electric bikes, equipped with integrated electric motor and battery systems, significantly contribute to bike-sharing programs by enhancing system accessibility, improving climbing capabilities, and elevating the overall user experience. As an illustration, in August 2022, data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), a U.S. federal agency, revealed an increase in the number of available e-scooter systems to 300 in 2022, up from 281 in 2021. Furthermore, the count of cities with e-scooter systems rose to 158 in 2022, compared to 136 in 2021. Hence, the surge in e-bike demand is a driving force behind the expected growth of the bike-sharing market.

The expected rise in fuel prices is poised to contribute to the growth of the bike-sharing market in the future. Fuel prices, encompassing various types such as gasoline and diesel, denote the expenses consumers incur to fill their vehicles or equipment. The escalating fuel prices are fostering increased interest in bike sharing as a practical and cost-effective alternative for short-distance commuting, aligning with sustainability goals. For instance, as of January 2023, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a U.S.-based government agency, reported a 19.4 percent increase in fuel prices from December 2021 to December 2022. Additionally, in September 2022, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, disclosed a 48% rise in automotive fuel prices in 2022 compared to 2021. Consequently, the upward trend in fuel prices is a catalyst for the growth of the bike-sharing market.

The adoption of technological advancements stands out as a prominent trend in the bike-sharing market. Leading companies in the bike-sharing sector are embracing innovative technologies to maintain their market positions. For instance, in June 2021, Bird Global Inc., a U.S.-based provider of environmentally friendly electric transportation, unveiled the Bird Bike as a new addition to its shared micro-electric vehicle fleet. Engineered for safety and durability, the Bird Bike is a smart, connected vehicle that seamlessly integrates with existing transportation networks in urban areas.
