The COVID-19 pandemic has caused supply and manufacturing disruptions in the automotive sector creating uncertainties in every aspect. The change in customer behavior in terms of mobility preferences during this crisis is changing the automotive landscape.
This pandemic situation has shut down many production lines owing to the trade restrictions and closed borders, creating a shortage in required parts and limiting the distribution of supplies. Different enforced measures including the closing of workspaces and dismissal of short-time workers have created a depression in the growth rate of the automotive industry.
The growing fear of recession is estimated to decrease overall sales and revenue. A limited supply of parts coupled with a reduced workforce has forced the leading OEMs to shut down their production. A significant drop in demand has restricted the cash inflow which is highly important in payment of salaries to the workforce. With growing uncertainties around the COVID-19 pandemic, the industry leaders are taking measures to adapt to the situation.
Rising traffic congestion is an unavoidable condition, particularly in large and growing metropolitan areas across the globe. Thus, increasing urbanization in emerging as well as developed economies, coupled with expansion of general fabrication activities and low manufacturing cost, has led to a surge in the demand for bicycles as a means of conveyance.
Continuously increasing demand for faster and cleaner modes of transportation and rising awareness of bicycle sharing systems are creating significant opportunities for the growth of the bicycle market across the globe. A study by PMR on the bicycle market concludes that, the market is anticipated to reach a valuation of around US$ 109 Bn by the end of 2030, expanding at a CAGR of nearly 6% over the forecast years (2020–2030).

The COVID-19 Impact
The flourishing bicycle market is witnessing a strong growth stall due to solid disruptions in the manufacturing and supply of bicycle and bicycle accessories amid the global COVID-19 outbreak. Social distancing norms and stay-at-home orders continue to impose restrictions on travel as well as outdoor exercising, which is directly hampering the value pool of the mobility industry, including the bicycle market. Electric bicycle sales are prominently limited owing to several supply chain challenges and manufacturing delays. Non-Chinese bicycle brands must now leverage these trying times as an opportunity to strengthen their global market positioning as Chinese brand alternatives. Agile bicycle manufacturing and digital supply chains will be the top trends adopted by leading bicycle companies in the post-COVID-19 era, as suggested by PMR’s analysis.
