Key Highlights
- The Covid-19 global pandemic and successive lockdowns hampered the production of e-bike lights production. With life coming to normalcy, the production of e-bikes is expected to rise in the forecasted period. As the e-bike light market heavily depends on the sales and production of e-bikes, the e-bike light market is also expected to witness growth during the forecast.
- Over the medium term, due to the health risks in this new normal, people have started avoiding using public transport and are preferring their means of transport for their commute. Additionally, not just for recreational use, several other sectors, like e-bike rental services and logistics, have started adopting the use of e-bikes. These factors are expected to drive the e-bike light market in the forecasted period.
- Currently, Asia-Pacific is the largest e-bike light market, as top-end users like Giant Bicycles Co. Ltd and Merida Industry Co. Ltd have their manufacturing units in Taiwan. Because of the growing demand for green mobility in Europe, it is the fastest-growing region for the e-bikes market.
- Mobility plays a vital role in the current era. With the increasing concern for preserving and sustaining the environment for future generations, protecting it poses a great challenge for society and governments across the world, especially due to the increasing scarcity of natural resources and environmental concerns.
- As a result, to overcome the above-mentioned issue, increased adoption of e-bikes is taking place and is expected to continue, which in turn is likely to witness major growth for the market during the forecast period.
E-bike Lights Market Trends
Growing Demand for E-bikes
- The major driver of the growth of the e-bike lights market is the increasing demand for e-bikes across the globe. As life is returning to its normal pace, workplaces are switching back to work from the office, enabling the daily commute. It has now become a necessary affair to own a vehicle, as public transport isn't safe. Hence, e-bikes are a relatively inexpensive choice of commuting vehicle.
- Additionally, an increase in customer preference for recreational and fitness use will result in the increased sale of e-bikes. Several governments across the globe have also taken necessary measures to promote the adoption of e-bikes. For instance, in March 2022, Veo, the first profitable micro-mobility company, launched the first Class 2 e-bike with throttle assist in the United States micro-mobility industry. The Cosmo-e class2 e-bike with throttle assist launched would allow the riders to get where they need to go if they cannot pedal, need support traveling up hills, or want a boost to get up to speed from a stopped position.
- In March 2022, Yamaha Motor Corp., USA, introduced two all-new, class 3 power assist bicycles, including the Wabash RT and the CrossCore RC. These e-bikes are built from the ground up with a new Yamaha PWSeries ST drive unit, frame, and internally integrated batteries.
- In May 2021, the French government launched a financial incentive wherein the residents could scrap their old vehicles, and they'd be offered EUR 2,500. The initiative is to reduce the production of greenhouse gases by the year 2030.
- In April 2021, Congress in the United States put forward a scheme to encourage people to buy e-bikes. The government would offer Americans a refundable tax benefit of 30% of the cost of the e-bike. But the amount is capped at USD 1,500.
- Also, the rise in fuel prices will significantly boost the number of e-bikes sold across the globe and, in turn, aid the e-bike lights market growth in the forecasted period.
Asia-Pacific and European Region are the Most Demanding Markets
- The e-bike manufacturing facilities are the end-users of the stock-type e-bike light, and many major e-bike manufacturing facilities are situated in the Asia-Pacific region. Stock e-bike lights are those that are installed on the e-bikes as they are assembled or arrive with the e-bike assembly kit.
- The top players, like Giant Bicycles and Marida, have their manufacturing units in Taiwan. Similarly, other multiple e-bike manufacturers are having their plants in China and India. Having many production facilities, the demand for e-bike lights is expected to increase in this region. This makes India and China the largest e-bike exporters in the Asia-Pacific region. The increase in the global demand for electric bikes will increase the consumption of e-bike lights.
- China has contributed to more than 50% of the Asia-Pacific e-bike market over the past two years, owing to its high consumption of electric bikes to tackle heavy traffic conditions, as well as growing vehicle pollution in the country. During the forecast period, the consumption of e-bikes is likely to continue to grow due to the decreasing purchase cost of e-bikes in the Chinese market.
- According to the China Bicycle Association, yearly electric bicycle sales in China have surpassed 30 million units in recent years, with social e-bike ownership approaching 300 million units, and the output of bikes exceeding 1,000 yuan continues to rise. Annual production for 2021 is recorded at 33.7 million units., which in turn is likely to create a lucrative opportunity for the market during the forecast period.
- The Chinese e-bike industry is largely driven by several government efforts and legislation supporting the use of green technology like e-bikes. These activities have resulted in the demand for e-bikes with smart batteries and application platforms. As Chinese manufacturers serve a wide spectrum of clientele, from the low-income to the middle-class and upper-class, their items come at a variety of pricing. This is likely to enhance the demand for e-bike lights in the coming years.
- On the other hand, the fastest-growing market for aftermarket e-bike lights is the European region. Aftermarket e-bike lights are those which are purchased as an accessory and are not included in the bike's price. The European countries hold about 40% of the global e-bike market in 2021.
- Among the countries, Germany dominates the sales numbers, followed by France and then Italy. With the demand and sales of electric bikes on the rise in the European region, the e-bike aftermarket lights market will witness a significant increase in the studied period.
