COVID-19 analysis

COVID-19 first appeared on the global stage in March of 2020. Since it was a disease that hospitalized a fraction of the people who got it and killed less than 1% of its victims, governments around the world decided to try to contain the virus.

They did so through quarantines and lockdowns. Many e-bike manufacturers were negatively impacted because they were unable to source some of their raw materials as easily. They passed the higher manufacturing costs onto the consumer in the form of higher retail prices.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Various governments around the world are promoting safer and cleaner means of transportation in an attempt to produce a cleaner and greener environment. Many have responded by passing legislation that encourages and rewards those who use e-bikes often. 

More and more governments around the world are encouraging growth in the e-bike market bypassing strict rules and regulations for vehicle emissions. The objective is to try to clean the air up by reducing the number of polluting particles that vehicles emit.

Many urban people also see the e-bike as a cheaper and cleaner way to travel short distances within cities.

Opportunities

Many governments around the world are now requiring vehicle manufacturers to produce vehicles that don’t emit any polluting particles. Since this is hard to impossible to do with automotive vehicles, many manufacturers are looking for practical alternatives. They are finding this in the form of e-bikes. 

Restraints

One of the key factors that are holding back growth in the global e-bike market is the high sticker price of most e-bikes. E-bikes may be less expensive than cars are. However, they are more expensive than their mechanical counterparts. Some motorbikes are priced lower than most e-bikes are!

Buying batteries are not cheap. E-bike batteries cost at least US $500 and can sell for as much as the US $800. Maintenance can be expensive and cumbersome. E-bike owners spend an average of US $280 to maintain their bikes every year. 

There are also distribution difficulties in the global e-bike market.

Challenges

The main challenges in encouraging growth in the global e-bike market lie in designing a smart battery. E-bikes must travel long distances in a short period. This places tremendous pressure on their batteries which have limited capacity for storing energy. 

There is also another challenge of designing e-bikes that would work with and be responsive to apps on mobile devices.

List of Key Companies

Some of the better-known companies in the global e-bike market are:

• Accell Group N.V. - the Netherlands

One brand includes the Performance e-bike. Their lightweight makes them perfect for bikers who have to travel long distances in a relatively short period.

Segment Overview

By market

E-bikes that are powered by lithium-ion batteries occupy the lion’s share of the global e-bike market. The reason being that they pollute less, use energy more efficiently, and last longer. They’re also able to carry heavy bikers longer distances in shorter periods.

By segment

Most e-bike manufacturers in Europe and North America are focusing on making mid-motors e-bikes. There is a reason for this - it’s more advantageous for them to produce these types of e-bikes. These bikes are smaller, weigh less, able to travel longer distances, use less battery power, etc…

Regional analysis

The Asia-Pacific region has the greatest e-bike market share. The Chinese have an affinity for e-bikes, so China dominates the region’s market share. Currently, 75% of all of the e-bikes in the world are sold in China.

The second contender is the European Union. What’s largely driving growth in this region is the stringent standards for vehicle emissions that governments throughout Europe have imposed on drivers and bike riders. This is part of the reason why sales have increased dramatically throughout the European Union. Another factor is that people are increasingly practicing social distancing in light of COVID-19.

North America occupies the third position. The rest of the world occupies the fourth.

Competitive landscape

Companies are surviving by investing heavily in research and development. This is allowing them to develop new technologies which they can incorporate into bikes. The result is a new generation of bikes that are smarter, faster, more energy-efficient, and friendlier for the environment. 

Established players are facing tough competition. One of the reasons for this is the low barriers to entry. They are responding by engaging in joint ventures and mergers and acquisitions in the attempt to retain their current positions in existing markets and to enter into new markets.
