Rising Fuel Prices And Increasing Traffic Congestion
The fuel prices have been skyrocketing in the recent years. As such, this trend has resulted in the prospective opportunities amongst people to look for electric vehicles as an alternative means of transportation vehicle. Also, the concern for the increase in traffic congestions owing to the significant growth in the number of vehicles owned, has also majorly contributed towards the growth of electric bicycles. People are switching to cheaper alternatives to avoid the rising fuel costs. Such factors are anticipated to drive the growth of the global electric bicycles market.
Upsurge in the Enthusiasm For Fitness And Exercise Regimes
People nowadays are drawn towards a healthy lifestyle, especially in the urban areas. The trend towards fitness is influencing many people to take cycling as an alternative for commuting to office or to nearby areas. The comfort in using electric bicycles is that the customers experience the ease of traveling without sweating as compared to conventional bicycles.

In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
Similarly, spiked spending in the European and major Asia economics including, India, China & Japan to showcase less impact on the global demand.
