forecasts, and dollar values of the global folding bikes market. According to the
report, the global folding bikes market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over
8% over the forecast period of 2022-2028.
The revenue generated by the
market was about USD 940 million in 2022 and is expected to reach nearly USD

compact form for proper transportation and storage. The first advantage offered
by folding bicycles is intermodality. Unlike conventional bicycles, folding can
be combined much more easily with other means of transport. Currently, few
cities already have adequate infrastructure to transport bicycles on public
transport. Folding bikes have small wheels, a low frame, and adjustable
handlebars. Most models are designed primarily for urban use. Also, these
folding bikes can be conveniently transported through passenger car vehicles.
From the early years of 1980 folding bikes are being used, and since then their
popularity has only increased. In most major cities they can be found easily
and among commuters have become a popular transportation mode. Practical is the
one word in which folding bikes can be summed up.
Increasing awareness about health
and growing concerns about global pollution is the key factor driving the
growth of the market. Moreover, the folding bikes can be taken anywhere as they
are light in weight and the folding nature of these bikes helps to lower the
space of the bikes while traveling to farther places as the space needed to
carry is very less. They can be taken to the hilly regions for those of the
riders who have the hobby of hiking and trailing. Folding Bikes are
increasingly viewed as an exercise tool all across the globe, distinguishing
their use even by wealthy consumers. Thus, folding bikes are gaining popularity
among people who are shifting towards healthy and eco-friendly solutions.
There has been a rise in Bike sharing and renting platforms such as BLOOM, Yulu,
MoBike, and Evemo in major urban centers of the world which has also trended the
demand for folding bikes among people. Moreover, challenges associated with
design safety and performance limitation are likely to restrain the growth of
the folding bikes market. Furthermore, government encouragement for the use of
bicycles as a mode of daily travel is providing several growth opportunities
for the folding bikes market. On the other hand, the increasing trend of the
mixed mode of commutation among urban commuters will influence the folding
bikes market positively over the upcoming years.
The global folding bikes market is
segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and RoW region. Europe
dominated the folding bikes market in terms of revenue. EU has adopted
stringent environmental policies which focus on lowering the carbon emissions
from transportation. These policies of the EU have been detrimental to the people
shifting toward greener and eco-friendly personal transportation such as
bicycles. People are adopting folding bikes as they are eco-friendly and
are easy to transport and require less space can be parked in minimum
space. Also, countries such as The Netherlands are one of the largest users and
producers of bicycles. Therefore, the demand for folding bikes is higher in
such countries in Europe. Also, folding bikes can be found easily in the major
cities of Europe such as London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, and others. Also, there
has been a rise in bike-sharing and renting platforms which have further
proliferated the use of foldable bicycles in Europe.
