The manual segment of the market comprises traditional bicycles that rely on the physical effort of the rider to move them forward. These bicycles come in various sizes and designs, catering to different age groups and skill levels.

By geography, the kids bicycle market is primarily segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South & Central America. In 2022, Asia Pacific held the largest market share during the forecast period. Asia Pacific is home to 60% of the world's population, nearly 4.3 billion people, and includes the world's most populous countries, China and India. With a rising emphasis on promoting healthy lifestyles for children and a growing middle-class population, the demand for kids bicycles has witnessed significant traction in recent years. In countries such as China and India, where urbanization and changing lifestyles are prominent, there is a heightened awareness among parents about the importance of outdoor activities for children. This awareness has translated into an increased demand for kids bicycles as a means to encourage physical activity and provide a mode of recreation.
Economic prosperity is also translating into increased spending power for families across the region. This, coupled with a growing middle-class population, fuels the demand for recreational activities such as cycling, paving the way for more kids bicycles in homes. In addition, as cities sprawl, families seek alternatives to crowded roads and polluted air. Cycling emerged as a healthy and cost-effective solution, promoting both physical fitness and outdoor exploration for children. Recognizing this trend, governments are investing in cycling infrastructure, further supporting the market growth.
