The bike sharing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.82 billion in 2023 to $4.09 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the historical period can be ascribed to factors such as urbanization and population density, increased environmental awareness, government initiatives and policies, ongoing infrastructure development, and prevailing health and wellness
The bike sharing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.2 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the integration of electric bikes, the implementation of micro-mobility solutions, utilization of data analytics for optimization, incorporation into smart city initiatives, and the adoption of subscription models and loyalty programs. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period encompass technological advancements, collaborative efforts with public transport, the emergence of autonomous bike technologies, a focus on customization and personalization, and the development of climate-responsive infrastructure.
The anticipated increase in demand for e-bikes is set to drive the growth of the bike-sharing market in the future. Electric bikes, equipped with integrated electric motor and battery systems, significantly contribute to bike-sharing programs by enhancing system accessibility, improving climbing capabilities, and elevating the overall user experience. As an illustration, in August 2022, data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), a U.S. federal agency, revealed an increase in the number of available e-scooter systems to 300 in 2022, up from 281 in 2021. Furthermore, the count of cities with e-scooter systems rose to 158 in 2022, compared to 136 in 2021. Hence, the surge in e-bike demand is a driving force behind the expected growth of the bike-sharing market.
The expected rise in fuel prices is poised to contribute to the growth of the bike-sharing market in the future. Fuel prices, encompassing various types such as gasoline and diesel, denote the expenses consumers incur to fill their vehicles or equipment. The escalating fuel prices are fostering increased interest in bike sharing as a practical and cost-effective alternative for short-distance commuting, aligning with sustainability goals. For instance, as of January 2023, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a U.S.-based government agency, reported a 19.4 percent increase in fuel prices from December 2021 to December 2022. Additionally, in September 2022, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, disclosed a 48% rise in automotive fuel prices in 2022 compared to 2021. Consequently, the upward trend in fuel prices is a catalyst for the growth of the bike-sharing market.
The adoption of technological advancements stands out as a prominent trend in the bike-sharing market. Leading companies in the bike-sharing sector are embracing innovative technologies to maintain their market positions. For instance, in June 2021, Bird Global Inc., a U.S.-based provider of environmentally friendly electric transportation, unveiled the Bird Bike as a new addition to its shared micro-electric vehicle fleet. Engineered for safety and durability, the Bird Bike is a smart, connected vehicle that seamlessly integrates with existing transportation networks in urban areas. It features a potent electric motor for assistance on inclines, a robust frame with a step-through design to enhance safety and maneuverability, a front basket for storage, and large pneumatic tires for a smooth ride. Additionally, the bike incorporates IoT features such as self-automating diagnostics, geo-speed technology, and multi-mode geolocation to ensure compliance with regulations in cities and towns of varying sizes.
Major companies in the bike-sharing market are concentrating on introducing advanced solutions, including electric bicycle variants, to gain a competitive advantage. Electric bicycle variants encompass various types and styles of electric bikes designed for recreational riding on flat terrain, such as bike paths and paved roads. For example, in March 2023, MYBYK, an Indian-based company providing bicycle sharing and rental services, launched MYBYK Electric and MYBYK Electric Cargo. MYBYK Electric is equipped with Bluetooth, keyless cycle unlocking, and keyless battery unlocking. On the other hand, MYBYK Electric Cargo is tailored for last-mile delivery for gig workers, featuring a swappable battery with a capacity of 0.54 kWh (kilowatt-hour) and a range of 80–100 kilometers.
