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 growth of the global BMX bike market.
