Global E-Bike Market Status and Demand: Market Scale is $33.31 Billion in 2024

Global E-Bike Market Overview

According to Global Market Monitor, the global E-Bike market size is $33.31 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to $49.93 billion by 2029.

An electric bicycle is a motorized bicycle with an integrated electric motor for assisting propulsion. It's powered by a rechargeable battery that provides the rider with extra power, ultimately delivering a smoother, more convenient, and easier ride. An e-bike may be the same as any other bike in terms of design, shape, and components, but e-bikes are most efficient when pedaling faster than a regular bike.

Increased Demand for E-Bikes among Students and Commuters 

Electric bicycles are a form of transportation, and electric bicycles are in high demand from students and office workers. First, many students and commuters choose to ride e-bikes to work or school mainly because e-bikes are more convenient than other means of transportation. At the same time, riding an electric bike is also a physical exercise.

Second, riding an e-bike to work is much cheaper than driving or taking public transportation. Especially urban parking spaces are tight, and e-bikes take up smaller parking spaces than cars. For example, parking in a big city like New York City can cost a lot of money. According to data released by the U.S. Census Bureau, e-bikes are currently in high demand from students and commuters around the world, with more than 837,000 Americans biking to work.

Finally, rising oil prices in recent years and the relative increase in the cost of transportation such as cars have further boosted consumer demand for e-bikes. Therefore, the demand for e-bikes by students and commuters will drive the growth of the e-bike industry.

Competition from Alternatives

The electric bicycle industry faces competition from many alternatives. As a means of transportation, alternatives to electric bicycles include ordinary bicycles, buses, subways, etc. On the one hand, with the acceleration of urbanization, urban subways are becoming more and more developed. On the other hand, riding an electric bicycle is affected by external factors such as weather. For example, riding an electric bicycle on rainy days is easy to get wet.

In addition, if only considering convenience and not being affected by parking spaces, ordinary bicycles also have the same advantages, and the demand for electric bicycles is also affected by the competition of traditional ordinary bicycles. Therefore, electric bicycles are subject to greater competition as a means of transportation.
