Market Overview

A bicycle trip is an expedition or journey that is predominantly undertaken by bicycle, usually for tourism, leisure, travel, or fitness. The market for bicycle trips is expected to rise significantly due to increased environmental consciousness, infrastructure improvements, and a resurgence of cycling aficionados. Increased health consciousness, the growth of bike-sharing schemes, and a move towards sustainable transportation are major market drivers. The development of electric bicycles, the extension of bike routes and trails, and the incorporation of cycling into urban design present significant prospects. Adventure cycling, specialised cycle rides catered to particular hobbies, and the growth of cycling tourism are some of the recent trends. The market for bicycle trips is predicted to grow as cities work to make their cities more bike-friendly, providing plenty of chances for companies that rent bikes, conduct tours, and sell cycling gear.

Governments worldwide are increasingly supporting bicycle travel, as evidenced by the Bloomberg initiative for cycling infrastructure, which offers subsidies to communities to build safer roads and bike lanes. Pop-up lanes and other temporary solutions are funded by the Smart Cities Mission's Cycles Change Challenge in India, with plans to formalise them later. European nations have established national cycling policies, such as Ireland's Cycle Policy Framework and Luxembourg's mobility plans, to make large investments in infrastructure, legal reforms, and public safety for active transportation. These initiatives, along with bike-sharing schemes, awareness campaigns, and route networks such as EuroVelo, are advancing cycling as a sport, a way to get around, and a destination.

Driving Factors: E Bike Adoption and Outdoor Recreation Fuel Bicycle Trip Market Growth

The bicycle trip market is expanding, driven by the rapid growth of e bikes in Europe. In 2021, 5 million e bikes were sold, up 10% from the previous year. E bikes can replace 28% of car trips and are 60% faster than cars for journeys under 10 km, significantly reducing pollution. With a CO2 footprint of just 22 g/km, they offer a greener alternative to cars and public transport. Growth is further supported by government initiatives, such as Paris’s €250 million investment in cycling infrastructure. Notably, 40% of e bike buyers are over 50, highlighting strong adoption among seniors.

Adventure and high performance bikes are also gaining traction for off road riding, racing, and endurance events. Outdoor recreation participation in the U.S. reached an all time high in 2023, with 175.8 million participants, much of it driven by biking and other casual outdoor activities.

 

Restraining Factor: Seasonality & weather constraints limits bicycle trip demand in off-peak months.

One of the main factors restraining bicycle trips is that highly seasonal in colder climates snow, freezing temperatures, and fewer hours of daylight will reduce activity levels in the winter. Similarly, in the Asia Pacific region, outdoor riding drops when the rainy season arrives. As a result of this seasonality, bicycle sales are affected, as well as the number of cycling events each year, which tend to happen in the most profitable months for manufacturers and retailers.

 

Market Segmentation 

The global bicycle trips market is divided into type and tour type.

 

Global Bicycle Trips Market, By Type:

Why does the couple type segment hold the largest revenue share in the global bicycle trip market, accounting for approximately 46.6% of the total market during the forecast period? 

The couple type segment led the bicycle trip market, generating the largest revenue share. Many of these couples are avid cyclists who enjoy riding in tandem with each other. Couple vacations are very common, especially among those who are married and those participating together as workout partners. The primary application for double-seated bicycles is couples sharing rides. Outfitted double-seated bicycles are seen in sporting events, leisure traveling, or outdoors. Honeymoons are designed with hand-crafted packages for couples that include value-added features like beautifully decorated bicycles, meals included in packages, customising experiences requested by couples, and more. The group type segment in the bioactive bone grafts market is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The group type segment is a robust expansion, traveling in a group costs less than traveling on own or with a partner. Group trips are also less expensive for businesses to run than a single or romantic trip. Companies profit more from a group of travelers, so they offer discounts to more people. The group trip market is particularly popular in the age range of 18 to 30. 

 

Global Bicycle Trips Market, By Tour Type:

Why does multi-day represent the largest tour type segment, capturing approximately 69.3% market share during the forecast period in the global bicycle trips market? 

The multi-day segment held the largest market share in the bicycle trip market. These cycling routes are long-distance multi-day tours. Part of the tour is traveling between cities. Intercity travel is common in both the U.S. and Europe. Multi-day trips are extremely popular in both the adventure and nature tourism markets. For multi-day trips, companies are offering packaged tours that bundle lodging, meals, entertainment, and beverages. The multi-day trips require an experienced or intermediate cyclist. Also need higher levels of fitness, endurance, and stamina to complete these types of trips.    

The single-day segment in the bicycle trips market is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. Most European countries, including the Netherlands, Norway, France, and others, have made cycling a popular form of transportation. Cycling tours that last only one day are a common way to see the key tourist attractions in these nations. In urban regions, single-day cycling tours are common, with one-day excursions to neighbouring locations planned from the city centres. There are other kinds of one-day excursions, such as nighttime tours, heritage cycle rides, and nature cycle rides.

The significant penetration of high-end life science instruments in the US, the presence of significant companies, and the region's favorable reimbursement laws is some of the other key elements anticipated to sustain the growth of the Bicycle Trip market in North America.

 

Why does the United States lead the North American bicycle trips market?

The bicycle trip market in the United States encompasses a wide variety of bike activity offerings to meet different preferences and ability levels. Recreational and leisure vacations appeal to families or leisure bike riders because they offer short, enjoyable rides in beautiful settings. Adventure and touring vacations appeal to more experienced bike riders because they offer a longer ride with the chance to stay in different locations along the route or simply camp overnight. Companies offering guided bike trips provide an organized experience that exposes bike riders to different locations while also providing the expertise of authorized guides. Because of these options, it may tap into a very wide array of consumer preferences.

Many countries, e.g., Japan and China, and Singapore, are prioritizing infrastructure development to promote and encourage bicycle commuting. For example, cities like Tokyo are ideal places for bike tourism, especially with low accident rates. The expansion of bicycle touring will heavily rely on cycling tour operators expanding their reach to developing regions with growing interest in adventure and travel, such as Australia and India.

 

Europe Bicycle Trips Market Trends
