The truth about the bike industry struggles! The Bicycle Market Reset: 2025–2026

The bicycle industry has been through one of the most dramatic cycles in recent memory. The pandemic bike boom sent demand soaring, supply chains breaking, and factories scrambling to catch up. But when production finally returned to full speed, the market shifted. Demand cooled. Warehouses filled. Prices fell. Companies struggled to survive. Five years later, the question is no longer what went wrong — but what comes next. In this video, we trace the journey from the COVID-19 surge to the post-boom correction — and examine how the global bicycle industry is stabilizing today. We look at why sales have returned to pre-pandemic levels, how e-bikes continue to reshape the market, and how new tariff policies in the United States are changing the economics of importing and selling bikes. As the industry adapts, trends are becoming clearer: • Leaner inventories • More local assembly and near-shoring • A shift toward servicing and e-bike maintenance • E-bikes as the long-term growth engine So the real question for 2026 and beyond: Can the global bicycle industry find a new equilibrium? Or did the pandemic permanently reshape the market?
