Bicycle Components Market Report 2025

The bicycle components market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.71 billion in 2024 to $13.53 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing urbanization, increasing focus on health, increasing popularity of cycling as a sport, growth in environmental awareness, expansion of bike-sharing programs, increasing fuel prices, and increasing popularity of recreational cycling.

The bicycle components market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.53 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing health and fitness awareness, rising environmental concerns, increasing urbanization and the need for efficient commuting options, increasing e-bike popularity, expansion of cycling infrastructure, shifting consumer preferences towards customizable and high-performance parts, and expanding global bicycle tourism industry. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in lightweight materials, integration of electronic shifting systems, advancements in aerodynamic designs, integration of smart technology, and advancements in braking system.

The forecast of 6.7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.8% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Increased import costs for high-performance bike parts from Europe and Japan may reduce cycling tour operators' ability to maintain premium offerings. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing sales of electric bicycles are expected to drive the growth of the bicycle component market moving forward. Electric bikes, which are equipped with electric motors that assist with propulsion, are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience, environmental benefits, and ability to support riders with varying physical capabilities. The integration of specialized components, such as motors, batteries, drive systems, and braking systems, enhances the e-bike experience, making cycling more accessible and enjoyable for a broader range of riders. For example, in December 2023, the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, a US-based government agency, reported that e-bike sales in the United States reached 1.1 million units in 2022. This represented a significant increase from 2021, where sales more than doubled compared to 2020. As a result, the rising electric bicycle sales are expected to propel the growth of the bicycle components market.

Key players in the bicycle components market are focusing on technological advancements, particularly in electronic shifting systems such as wireless shifters, to improve gear changes and overall ride performance. Wireless shifters are electronic components that facilitate gear changes through electronic signals, offering greater precision and efficiency compared to traditional mechanical cables. For example, in May 2024, Shimano Inc. introduced the 2x12-Speed GRX Di2 system. This system includes dual control levers for comfort and control, a rear derailleur for optimal chain management, and a front derailleur designed for gravel terrain, ensuring precise gear shifts. The wireless shifters in this system are connected to wired derailleurs via a central battery, providing improved ergonomics and reliable 2x12-speed gravel gearing performance when combined with existing RX820 components.

In September 2024, Glory Wheel Enterprise Co. Ltd., a Taiwan-based manufacturer of bicycle components, acquired Spank Industries and Fratelli Industries for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is designed to strengthen Glory Wheel’s position in the global bicycle market and boost its competitive advantage in the premium bicycle accessories segment. Spank Industries and Fratelli Industries, also based in Taiwan, are renowned for their high-performance bike components and accessories.

The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the recreation sector, especially in the supply of imported sports gear, outdoor equipment, and leisure products. Manufacturers and retailers are grappling with increased costs for goods like bicycles, camping supplies, fitness equipment, and gaming consoles - many of which rely heavily on international supply chains with few domestic alternatives. Small recreational retailers are particularly vulnerable, with some cutting back on stock or raising prices to manage shrinking profit margins. Event organizers and recreational venues are also experiencing rising costs for imported materials and equipment. In response, the industry is shifting toward suppliers in non-tariff regions, boosting local procurement efforts, and advocating for tariff exemptions on widely used recreational goods.

Bicycle components are the various parts and accessories that together comprise a bicycle, each fulfilling a specific function to ensure smooth operation, performance, comfort, and usability. Understanding the purpose and functionality of these components is crucial for selecting the right bike, maintaining it effectively, and improving the overall riding experience.

The primary components in the bicycle components market include frames, saddles, rims, brakes, and pedals. The bicycle frame serves as the fundamental structural element, forming the framework to which other components are attached. Bicycles come in various types such as mountain bikes, hybrid or cross bikes, road bikes, comfort bikes, youth bikes, cruisers, and electric bikes, which are distributed through different sales channels including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket retailers.
