With restrictions on movement and access to gyms or sports arenas, people have taken up cycling as an alternate way of exercising. Social distancing norms and protection against the virus have further led to the use of personal modes of transportation. Such factors positively impacted the market globally during the pandemic period and are anticipated to impel market growth in the post-pandemic period.

Most people invest their time in various fitness activities & sports activities such as running, cycling, swimming, and yoga, to stay active, fit, and healthy daily. Moreover, cycling is considered a low-impact, healthy activity with many mental and physical benefits such as building endurance, cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and relieving stress.

Additionally, rising dedicated bike tracks or grounds for BMX racing create customer awareness to buy their product. In addition, brand ambassador, different marketing strategies of companies, and recent innovations in electric BMX are other factors propelling the market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Cost Associated with BMX Bikes to Limit the Growth of this Market

The high cost of BMX bikes is a prominent aspect hindering the growth of the global bicycle industry. Components, tires, frames, and technology costs make bikes more expensive than traditional bikes in the current scenario. Therefore, consumers find conventional bikes more suitable than electric bikes. Moreover, classic BMX bikes are gaining popularity worldwide due to various advantages such as low prices and easy transport from one place to another without the need for extra effort.

Moreover, a limited set of group interests in specific countries for bicycle motocross hamper the market growth. Furthermore, the development of e-bikes in China is high owing to the availability of suitable infrastructure. Still, the change is limited in other nations due to the unavailability of suitable infrastructure. This unavailability of appropriate infrastructure increases product costs and the prices of replacing or installing new products on bikes. Hence, these aspects hinder the global market growth.
