Guidehouse Insights Report Shows Nearly 200 Million Electric Bicycles Are Expected to Be Sold Over the Next 5 Years

Market growth is driven by investment in electrification by major manufacturers, historic adoption levels among European consumers, and increased availability of e-bike models

BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new report from Guidehouse Insights analyzes the global market for electric bicycles (e-bikes), providing forecasts for annual e-bike unit sales, revenue, market share, and average transaction prices through 2030.

Although sales of traditional bicycles have remained flat in most major world markets for the past several years, e-bikes are achieving unprecedented growth across North America, Europe, and pockets of Asia Pacific. Due to the strong growth and higher average purchase prices of e-bikes, many bicycle manufacturers rely on the technology to increasingly fill the void of sinking revenue from traditional bicycles. Click to tweet: According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, global e-bike sales revenue is expected to grow from $27.3 billion in 2020 to nearly $47 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%.

“Bicycle manufacturers that fail to offer comprehensive and competitive e-bike product lines risk losing substantial new business and the ability to remain profitable,” says Ryan Citron, senior research analyst at Guidehouse Insights. “Cumulatively, nearly 200 million e-bikes are expected to be sold over the next 5 years and roughly 450 million throughout the forecast period.”

The large increase in e-bike sales is due to several emerging market and technology trends, including significant investment into electrification by major bicycle and automotive manufacturers, historic adoption levels among European consumers, and increased e-bike model availability and use cases. Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries are also continuing to achieve significant cost reductions, providing increased electric ranges, and decreasing in size, resulting in more affordable and desirable products for consumers.

The study provides a detailed analysis of the market opportunities, key drivers of growth, and technology trends associated with e-bikes. Global market forecasts for annual e-bike unit sales, revenue, market share, and average transaction prices extend through 2030 and are segmented by region and country.
