E-bike Charging Station Market Analysis

An electric bike charging station, also called charging point or electric recharging point supplies electric energy to charge electric bike and electric scooters/ motorcycles. Moreover, the charging station sites can be residential, non-residential, or commercial.

Increasing population is leading to depletion of the ozone layer, which has compelled various countries to take measures to minimize the greenhouse effect by adopting alternative sources of energy: one such step is the introduction of electric bikes and electric vehicles. Furthermore, government-owned companies are entering into partnerships to develop and install electric bike charging station. For instance, in March 2020, National Thermal Power Corporation Limited, an Indian government-owned electric utility company and Rajasthan Electronics & Instruments Ltd. (REIL), an India-based miniratna company, signed an agreement with Government of Andhra Pradesh, India to established 110 electric vehicle charging stations at an approximate cost of US$ 4.29 million.

Furthermore, increasing deployment of e-bike charging stations at tourist and public areas is expected to boost the market growth. For instance, in October 2019, Robert Bosch GmbH, installed electric bike charging stations at touring hotspots across Europe.

However, lack of charging infrastructure is one the major challenge for the global e-bike charging station market growth. According to CMI analysis, India requires a widespread charging infrastructure to meet the growing adoption of e-bike (electric bike). In addition to more charging stations, the lack of space is also a challenge for the global e-bike charging station market. Therefore, these factors are expected to challenge the growth of the global e-bike charging station market.

The global E-bike charging station market accounted for US$ 2,715.23 Mn in terms of value in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% for the period 2021-2028.

Global E-bike Charging Station Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

The outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to negatively influence the global e-bike charging station market growth. Initially, in the pandemic few companies witnessed decreased sales of conventional bicycles and e-bikes as the global supply chain was disrupted by lockdown orders and bike stores were forced to close. However, after lockdown, sales are booming globally, with several buyers opting for electric bikes for the first time. For instance, the U.S.-based bike retailer, Lectric eBikes, reported a 140% increase in sales between March 2020 and May 2020. Additionally, Aventon Bikes, based in Ontario, California, claims to be flooded with orders, with sales up in Massachusetts (+298%), California (+85%), and New York (+164 %). Thus, the demand for e-bike charging station is estimated to increase during the forecast period (2021-2028).

Statistics:

Asia Pacific held dominant position in the global e-bike charging station market in 2019, accounting for 41.7% share in terms of value, followed by Europe and North America.
