Cycling events have been gaining momentum worldwide creating further impetus for manufacturers to produce high-quality brake components that are accessible to all kinds of riders.
The rise of electric bikes has emerged as a major growth driver for the bicycle brake components market. E-bikes offer a convenient and efficient alternative to traditional bicycles, especially for commuting and covering longer distances.
As the popularity of e-bikes continues to soar, there is a corresponding demand for robust braking systems capable of handling the increased speed and weight of these vehicles.
Historically, the bicycle brake components market witnessed a CAGR of 4.8% from 2018 to 2022, with regions such as East Asia and South Asia & Pacific holding a significant part of the global market.
Cycling events are now conducted in various parts of the world, be it amateur or professional racing tournaments. This has opened a new market for OEM and aftermarket component suppliers, offering them an opportunity to increase their revenue streams. In the light of this, the market is poised to embark on a positive growth trajectory until 2033.
A variety of factors, including material selection, ride mechanics, weather, and terrain type, influence the typical lifespan of bicycle brake parts. However, a significant number of these parts need to be replaced after a set amount of time.
Bicycle brake pads typically need to be replaced every 400 to 2,000 miles of use, depending on whether distance causes the brake pad to wear out quickly. Disc rotors are also replaced when they badly wear out, which is indicated by vibrations in the pedal. These elements all contribute to increased sales of bicycle brake components.
The global bicycle brake components market is projected to expand at a CAGR of roughly 7.0% over the forecast period.
Promotion of e-Mobility in Developed Countries to Augment Market Growth
The necessity for safe transportation as well as rising pollution levels and fuel expenses are driving up demand for electric bikes.
Due to stringent government rules, developed regions like Europe, particularly the Netherlands, have witnessed a relatively significant growth rate for these bikes than other countries.
Governments in Australia, Asia, Europe, and North America are also providing subsidies for the use of electric bikes.
Manufacturers of OEM bicycle brake components have already begun to invest in the advancement of braking technologies in response to this demand.
They also actively participate in the research and development of braking systems tailored exclusively for the electric bike industry, which in turn drives the market for bicycle brake components globally.
Increasing Popularity of Cycling as a Recreational Activity
The increasing popularity of cycling as a recreational activity, sport, and mode of transportation fuels the demand for high-performance brake components.
As many people embrace cycling for health, environmental, and economic reasons, there is a corresponding demand for reliable and efficient braking systems.
There is a corresponding demand for bicycles equipped with high-performance braking systems as more people engage in cycling for leisure and recreation.
Cyclists seek brakes that offer precise control, reliable stopping power, and durability, especially when navigating challenging terrain or engaging in recreational cycling activities.
Increase in International Raw Material and Production Expenses
International raw material prices and production expenses in the bicycle industry have increased dramatically because of the epidemic's disruptions and the ongoing Russian–Ukrainian war.
The market witnessed increased sales in 2020 and 2021, although the year 2022 saw a decline in the gross profit margins of several businesses, including OEMs, bicycle foundries, spare parts factories, and OEMs. As a result, many businesses adopted a monthly rolling adjustment of quotations.
Aluminium prices have increased by as much as 63%, and 30–40% of the cost of a bicycle's materials are made of aluminium. Regarding bicycle parts, depending on the grades, the average growth has been between 20% and 30%. In addition, the export price of complete bicycle has increased by 10% to 20%.
The prominent challenge faced by market stakeholders in the bicycle brake component market has been fulfilling orders. The average delivery rate of orders has only been roughly 80% recently due to the shortage of parts brought on by disruptions in the international market.
The sector has had to deal with multiple commercial difficulties because of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, inflation, rising raw material prices, a lack of materials, and bad logistics.
The Integration of Electronic Braking Systems
The integration of electronic braking systems presents opportunities for players to enhance braking performance, precision, and control.
Smart braking systems that incorporate sensors, actuators, and electronic control units offer potential for customization, connectivity, and improved rider safety, catering to tech-savvy cyclists, and enthusiasts.
Electronic braking systems offer advanced features such as precise modulation, automatic adjustment, and adaptive control algorithms that enhance braking performance compared to traditional mechanical systems.
Players can capitalize on this by developing EBS components that provide superior stopping power, control, and reliability, catering to performance-oriented cyclists, and enthusiasts.
